Initial Release

  • Release date: 2024-05-23

The VIST NV connect module is a new common NV platform for neurovascular procedures. All neurovascular cases are now available in the same environment, where continuous updates and improvements will be a natural part of this new platform. New procedures and cases will be regularly added, based on market input.

This first release of the platform is a technical release and introduces an updated and consolidated version of existing neurovascular procedures for VIST.

The VIST NV Connect module is also part of a broader concept based on a common subscription offering, an integrated planning, rehearsal, and training solution for interventional neuroradiology. Supported by high-end simulation and connected online services, it bridges the gap between industry and physicians, fostering collaboration and excellence.

Features & Highlights

All NV procedures available in the same module

  • Flow Diversion (FD)
  • Intracranial Atherosclerosis Disease (ICAD)
  • Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS)
  • Carotid Intervention
  • Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM)
  • Coiling Intervention

Anatomies and lesion

Updated NV anatomies with multiple lesion locations per procedure. Radial and femoral access.


Bifurcation for Assisted Coiling cases

Applicable for G7+ and G7 2024 with bifurcation license.

Procedure tab with useful features for the trainee

  • Show access path
  • Show landing zones
  • Remove deployed implant
  • Show thrombi
  • Pause device movement

3D-RA tab

Allows the trainee with the positioning and sizing of both lesions and devices.

Place tool

This functionality allows the trainee to skip the access and to train directly on the procedure. This feature is available for all procedures except for the Carotid Intervention.

Benchmarks per procedure

Each type of procedure has specific benchmarks based on the metrics applicable for the chosen procedure (e.g. in Coiling procedures the metrics measure aneurysm filling, while in AIS the metrics look for the remaining thrombi).

Improved physics

  • Physics behavior of catheters
  • Increased friction and force feedback with smaller forces such the forces in the NV procedures
