Dr Demetrius Lopes

Dr. Demetrius Lopes, a distinguished neurosurgeon at Advocate Health, elaborates on his integration of advanced technology through the adoption of Mentice's simulation solutions. He emphasizes the advantages of virtual reality simulations, clinical decision-support tools, and 3D-printed anatomical models to optimize the approach to complex neurovascular procedures, setting new standards for meticulous preparation and continuous improvement in patient care.

"Practicing with device-specific simulations allows us to refine our techniques and strategies in a controlled, risk and patient-free environment. We can anticipate potential challenges and develop solutions before stepping into the operating theater."

Professor Peter Schramm MD

‍“At the beginning of one’s training, it is necessary to combine what one sees with what one feels. Images alone are inadequate. But with experience, one learns to see if there has been too much pressure or tension on the catheter tip or if excessive friction has moved a vessel. And this is where the NVE module is valuable—because it makes it possible to see very subtle movements and stress situations on the monitor. For me, this level of visual accuracy and realism is an impressive achievement.”

Prof. Dr. Thomas Liebig, Neurology Department

"We were able to publish the results of a study we did with a small group of physicians where we have put the metrics that we have created which defined individual steps and errors. And with these metrics we were able to discriminate between different levels of training, meaning between expert-level interventional neuroradiologists and people who were just at a lower or early stage of their training. Current technology is very useful for physicians at different levels of training. Beginners can start with the technology and learn the very basic skills of large vessel access. People at a more advanced level can repeat the procedure and aim at being quicker and more efficient, so I think it’s absolutely very useful.”

Sebastian Monch, Resident Technical University of Munich, Munich, Germany

“Before us residents get to do an angiography in a real patient, we have to practice with a simulator. Of course, simulations are the best when they're as close to reality as possible. This here what you see behind us is the real angiography suite, which we do interventions in. It's a real setting. You have the table, you have the control panel, you have the c-arms, which you can move with the control panel. You have the real catheters, so you get to know the feeling, how it works to go up a vessel or to take that turn or this turn.”

Prof. Dr. Thomas Liebig, Neurology Department

If a center has a small local stroke unit and they want to offer the service of neuro-thrombectomy they might see only 20-30 cases and it's virtually impossible to keep more than one doctor skilled at this procedure with this low number of cases. If you want to offer this at a 24/7 level then you need to make up for the missing numbers of procedures, find alternatives to keep high enough skills amongst 2, 3, or 4 physicians.

Dr. Michel Frudit

Having a virtual simulation system available to improve our skills is extremely relevant. When skills can be improved, and you have the remote support of a physician who has had the opportunity to have more experiences, it is very valuable because it breaks down physical barriers and ensures greater equity in access to the development of a competent professional that involves knowledge, skill, and attitude.

Prof. Claus Zimmer, Director of the Neuroradiology Department

“The simulation will become closer and closer to the reality. In five years, each department will have such a simulator, there will be cost reduction, I'm sure. I could imagine that you can save catheter or material you use, especially at the beginning of your time as an interventional neuroradiologist.”
