Coronary Essentials by Mentice is a simulation software module designed to train residents and fellows in interventional cardiology on the fundamentals of coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The software covers a wide range of patient conditions and procedural scenarios, enabling users to master angiography skills, lesion identification, anatomical structuring, and device manipulation. It allows proctors to remotely introduce complications and manipulate training scenarios in real time, enhancing the realism and educational value of the simulation. The solution supports both femoral and radial access, and enables repeatable training by allowing stent removal and lesion resetting. Performance is tracked using key indicators, helping trainees manage their path to proficiency. Coronary Essentials is compatible with the VIST® simulation platforms, providing realistic haptic feedback and a flexible, learner-focused environment for both individual and team-based training.
