Mentice NV AVM Cases is a specialized software module designed for simulation-based training in the endovascular treatment of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). The software offers a realistic, image-guided environment where clinicians can practice the full workflow of AVM interventions, including locating main arterial feeders, navigating to the nidus, and performing embolization. The module supports technical, procedural, and cognitive skill development in a risk-free setting, allowing users to handle potential complications such as reflux. It is suitable for both beginners and advanced operators, providing opportunities to perfect navigation, device handling, and procedural planning. The software integrates with the NV Connect platform, enabling trainers to set benchmarks and customize training objectives for different user groups.
