Mentice NV Carotid Artery Stenting (CAS) Cases is a specialized software module designed for simulation-based training in carotid artery stenting and related neurovascular interventions. The software offers a realistic, image-guided environment where clinicians can practice the full workflow of CAS procedures, including assessment of stenosis, device selection, aortic access, angioplasty, stenting, and use of embolic protection devices. The module supports technical, procedural, and cognitive skill development in a risk-free setting, allowing users to handle various anatomical challenges and procedural complications. 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, and supports importing patient-specific cases for personalized training.
