Area of Science:

Surgical Simulation
Medical Education Technology
Cardiothoracic Surgery

Background:

Tissue-based simulations are effective for training cardiothoracic surgery residents.
Existing simulators have accurately modeled various cardiothoracic procedures.
Cardiac transplantation has not been previously simulated.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and describe a high-fidelity, tissue-based simulation for cardiac transplantation training.
To adapt an existing simulator for the specific demands of cardiac transplant procedures.

Main Methods:

Modification of the Ramphal Cardiac Surgery Simulator to include cardiac transplantation.
Utilizing a high-fidelity, tissue-based approach for procedural realism.

Main Results:

A simulated cardiac transplant was successfully performed by an attending cardiac surgeon.
All component tasks of the cardiac transplantation operation were demonstrated within the simulation.

Conclusions:

The developed simulation is a valuable tool for training cardiothoracic surgery residents in cardiac transplantation.
This simulation is expected to enhance the educational experience and skill acquisition for trainees.
