Abstract: A surgical simulation device is disclosed that allows a structural heart disease (SHD) team, including a surgeon and an imaging specialist to perform a simulated cardiac intervention procedure using a patient-specific model that replicates biomechanical and echogenic properties of a specific patient to be operated on. The surgical simulation device can include a station with a tank for receiving a patient-specific cartridge with the patient-specific model. The device can also include an esophageal access system in the station and a vascular access system that couples to an access port of the station.

Abstract: An interventional procedure simulation system includes a control unit and an interface unit, the control unit communicating with the interface unit to simulate handling of a number of nested instruments simultaneously interfaced by said interface unit and, the instruments being arranged to move and rotated independently of each other and the movements and rotations being propagated to the other instruments. The control unit further includes an instruction set having a first instruction set for handling and processing input from the user, based on the input, generating a second instruction set for controlling the interface, a first data set that has characteristics for the instruments, a second data set that has data on a body part to be stimulated, and a third instruction set for generating control signals relating to an interaction between instruments and a surrounding geometry relating to a part of the simulated body part.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an interventional procedure simulation system and method, comprising a control unit and an interface unit, said control unit communicating with said interface unit to simulate handling of at least one instrument interfaced by said interface unit. The control unit comprises a database of vessels having hierarchy structure, each vessel having a diameter and a stiffness, and said instrument being a tool expendable in a simulated vessel. When the tool is expanded, a geometry of said vessel changes resulting in a fluid flow change.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an interventional procedure simulation system, comprising a control unit and an interface unit, said control unit communication with said interface unit to simulate handling of at least one instrument interfaced by said interface unit. The instrument is a self expanding tool inserted inside a simulated vessel and simulated with respect to a set value representing a stiffness of said vessel, a rest diameter of said self expanding tool, a vessel initial inner diameter and spring constant for said tool.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (100) in a simulation system for simulating an interventional operation. The device (100) is arranged to receive a number of real instruments, preferably at least two. The device (100) comprises a number of moveable carriages (16A-16C) corresponding to the number of the real instruments. The device (100) further comprises a track (20) and an interconnecting member (26). The interconnecting member (26) interconnects the carriages (16A-16C) serially. Each carriage (16A-16C) is provided with an opening for enabling reception of the instruments. Each carriage (16A-16C) further comprises members to receive and lock at least one instrument, and members for receiving a movement from the instrument and generating a force, fed back to the instrument with respect to a simulation characteristic.
