Intracranial Artery Stenosis (ICAD)

About the solution

NV Connect training cases are designed to learn skills essential to cerebral interventional procedures. The module facilitates technical, procedural, and cognitive training and discussions in a complete risk-free environment for these delicate procedures.

The training cases offer the opportunity to train on a range of neuro-interventional procedures, from the carotid artery and intracranial stenting to thrombectomy and aneurysm treatments (using flow diversion and coiling).

All cases provide all trainees, from beginners to advanced operators, with a risk-free opportunity to perfect both basic navigation skills and procedure-related specific skills and prepare well for the real intervention. NV Connect also allows trainers to set specific training targets, depending on the audience, by setting up benchmarks for each case or using the predefined benchmarks that come with the cases.
‍

The ICAD cases teach specific skills for treating intracranial artery stenosis, focusing on the basic steps of assessing the severity of the stenosis, choosing the proper material, navigating to and crossing the stenosis, and treating the stenosis using balloon dilatation and stenting.

Benefits & features

Procedural planning based on patient scenarios
Learn the procedural steps for supra-aortic access and cerebral angiography, including 3DRA
Acquire pertinent technical and manipulation skills
Safely access and navigate the cerebral vasculature
Assess the size and morphology of the stenosis, as well as the tortuosities of the access path, using angiograms and 3DRA
Treat the stenosis using angioplasty and stenting

Features & functionalities
  • Actual clinical devices can be used to provide realistic experience
  • Quick access – starting with sheath already placed in carotid - available
  • Distal access catheters can be used for facilitating distal navigation
  • Advanced imaging using roadmaps and biplane
  • 3DRA functionality for sizing and anatomy study
  • Detailed metrics for assessment and debriefing
Training objectives
  • Understand the need for balloon angioplasty and stenting.
  • Perform the above techniques in a safe and reasonable manner (considering position, size and deployment).
  • Select and deploy balloon catheters and stents with appropriate diameter and length.
  • Perform final angiogram and verify a successful outcome.
