The Atrial Septal Defect and Patent Foramen Ovale Occlusion module by Mentice is a simulation software designed for interventional cardiology training. It enables clinicians to practice the full workflow of ASD and PFO closure procedures, including catheterization, navigation to the left atrium, septal crossing, device deployment, and management of potential complications. The software provides a risk-free, realistic environment that replicates clinical scenarios using advanced haptic feedback and 3D anatomical models. Users can train on a variety of anatomies and device types, allowing for comprehensive skill development and procedural rehearsal. The module is compatible with Mentice VIST® simulation platforms, supporting both standard and patient-specific case import for targeted training. This solution is intended for clinicians, educators, and device specialists seeking to improve safety, efficiency, and outcomes in structural heart interventions.
