Neurovascular Essentials
A comprehensive and fully-guided curriculum to independently learn the fundamentals of cerebral interventions
A comprehensive and fully-guided curriculum to independently learn the fundamentals of cerebral interventions
The Neurovascular Essentials virtual simulation solution enables training Interventional Neuroradiologists to learn the important initial anatomical steps, device selection, and critical maneuvers to support your trainees on their journey of proficiency-based diagnostic cerebral interventions. With the cloud-based curriculum, remote proctoring, and clear step-by-step program enabling efficient and independent learning, your trainees can experience the best that virtual simulation has to offer.
The learning module includes fully-guided maneuver training for difficult techniques such as Simmons catheter, microcatheter switching, and stentriever deployment in multiple new and complex anatomies. Take the training program a step further and personalize the learning experience of your trainees to align with specific learning objectives by customizing your own curriculum and objective metrics.

“At the beginning of one’s training, it is necessary to combine what one sees with what one feels. Images alone are inadequate. But with experience, one learns to see if there has been too much pressure or tension on the catheter tip or if excessive friction has moved a vessel. And this is where the NVE module is valuable—because it makes it possible to see very subtle movements and stress situations on the monitor. For me, this level of visual accuracy and realism is an impressive achievement.”
The Department of Neuroradiology at Universitätsklinikum Schleswig-Holstein, led by Prof. Peter Schramm, has used innovative simulation solutions to improve neuroradiology training. This approach has enabled independent and realistic practice, reduced the need for proctors, and ensured safe learning of intricate procedures.
