Patient-specific cardiovascular simulation device

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.

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit and priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 734,223, filed September 20, 2018, entitled "Patient-Specific Cardiovascular Simulation Device," the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes Incorporated into this article. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to simulation devices, and more particularly, to patient-specific cardiovascular simulation devices. Background technique [0004] Heart disease is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the modern world. A number of minimally invasive therapies, such as percutaneous or transcatheter interventions, have recently been introduced for the treatment of structural heart disease (SHD). Currently, however, opportunities and tools for the SHD team to plan and practice any structural cardiac intervention in a cardiac catheterization laboratory setting are limi...
