Aortic Valve Implantation
Hands-on training for transcatheter aortic valve implantation
Hands-on training for transcatheter aortic valve implantation
Mentice Aortic Valve Implantation is designed for interventional cardiologists and cardiac/cardiothoracic surgeons who wish to train on transcatheter aortic valve implantation/replacement (TAVI/TAVR). As TAVI volumes increase due to expanding reimbursement and its adoption for younger, low-risk patients, effective training becomes critical to ensure consistent outcomes. This module provides a safe, cost-effective platform for individual instruction or hospital-wide quality improvement programs.
With generic balloon and self-expandable valves, users can explore the nuances of different deployment techniques and adapt to the growing variety of valves on the market. Physicians can refine skills like the cusp overlap technique, deepen their understanding of anatomy, and prepare for the challenges of treating diverse patient profiles—all in a realistic and patient-free environment.
Covers all TAVI procedural steps in a risk-free environment for comprehensive training
Monitors and responds to physiological changes with interactive hemodynamics
Learn how to accurately perform commissural alignment
Enables training on balloon- and self-expanding valves for diverse valve support
Improved delivery system for hands-on practice with realistic device handling

“We have used the simulator in multiple sessions at PCR congresses to great effect. It is used as the culmination of all the principles we to through with other simulators and visual aids and puts everything together."
“The Mentice simulation offers us a way to teach the importance of commissural alignment and cusp-overlap imaging techniques. Being an agnostic valve, it offers a unique tool to teach the procedure without being tied to a specific manufacturer.”
