Neurovascular Thrombectomy by Mentice is a simulation software module designed to train and assess clinicians in the technical and procedural skills required for mechanical thrombectomy in neurovascular interventions. The module employs a proficiency-based training methodology, developed and validated with input from over 20 international neurovascular experts. It offers a safe, risk-free environment for self-directed learning, where users receive immediate feedback and warnings during simulated procedures. The software features configurable training cases to match specific learning needs and includes a benchmarking system that uses a wide range of performance metrics to set assessment levels and quality standards. This enables both individual skill development and institutional quality assurance. The module is integrated with the VIST® simulation platform and can be used as part of the broader NV Connect ecosystem, supporting advanced VR and physiological simulation, collaborative training, and patient-specific procedural rehearsal.
