    Area of Science:

    • Medical Simulation
    • Interventional Radiology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Therapeutic embolization is a complex interventional procedure.
    • Training for embolization requires realistic simulation of intravascular conditions.
    • Current training methods may lack direct feedback on technique errors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To construct a novel teaching machine simulating human therapeutic embolization.
    • To provide a safe and stress-free environment for learning and practicing embolization techniques.
    • To offer immediate feedback on procedural errors during embolization.

    Main Methods:

    • A submersible pump circulates fluid through a tubing circuit.
    • A Y-shaped vascular bifurcation model directs fluid flow.
    • A model arteriovenous malformation allows catheter and embolic material manipulation.
    • A sieve system detects and displays misplaced embolic materials.

    Main Results:

    • The constructed teaching machine effectively simulates intravascular conditions.
    • The device allows for practice of various catheter-based embolization techniques.
    • The sieve system provides immediate visual feedback on embolus misplacement.
    • The simulation allows for safe and stress-free learning of embolization procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed teaching machine is a valuable tool for training therapeutic embolization.
    • This simulation enhances learning by providing realistic conditions and immediate error feedback.
    • The device can improve trainee proficiency and patient safety in interventional radiology.
