Pioneering patient-specific simulation
The field of 3D printing applied to patient-specific simulation is evolving as a tool to enhance the results of intervention.
3D printing technology is used to replicate patient-specific anatomy that is incorporated in the SimulHeart simulation system.
Advantages of patient-specific simulation
– Plan and practice a complex procedure beforehand;
– Compare treatment strategies;
– Predict complications and practice solutions;
– Gain confidence (operator and team);
– Patient empowerment tool.
By using patient-specfic simulation, the operator is able to use standard diagnosis and interventional tools in the catheterisation laboratory environment, enabling training and testing several endovascular skills.
