What is coronary intervention?

Model:PCI Training Simulator (XX002D)

Interventional treatment for coronary heart disease refers to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), which is performed by puncturing the femoral artery or radial artery, and treating the stenotic or occluded part of the coronary artery through catheters and other instruments under X-ray, so that the vascular lumen is restored and blood flow is restored. Among them, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and coronary stenting are the most common;

PTCA covers all interventional treatments for coronary heart disease in a broad sense, and in a narrow sense usually refers to traditional coronary balloon dilatation, which is a method of sending a balloon catheter to the stenotic lesion of the coronary artery, expanding the balloon by pressurizing it in vitro, squeezing the local stenotic plaque, expanding the lumen, and unblocking blood flow. Coronary stenting is a method of puncturing the femoral artery or radial artery, and using a special catheter and guidewire under X-ray fluoroscopy to send the stent to the stenotic or occluded lesion of the coronary artery, and using the principle of stent expansion to open the narrowed blood vessel wall to promote the restoration of blood flow. For patients with chronic stable coronary heart disease and evidence of extensive myocardial ischemia, interventional therapy is one of the effective methods to relieve angina symptoms.

The PCI Model Training Simulator (XX002D) is an all-encompassing cardiovascular training system designed to meticulously emulate the intricacies of human coronary arteries. This comprehensive simulator is composed of a high-fidelity silicone model, a simulated DSA imaging system, and a mini pump, all harmoniously integrated to provide a realistic training environment. The silicone model includes a detailed representation of essential arterial structures such as the radial artery, aortic arch, left and right coronary arteries, diagonal branches, LAD, and LCX. A standout feature of this model is the detachable and replaceable segment on the LAD, which allows for the simulation of various common coronary lesions such as stenosis, bifurcation, calcification, and CTO. The standard PCI simulator comes equipped with six free replaceable segments showcasing different types of lesions, including a 50% stenosis, bifurcation, and CTO, all strategically positioned on the LAD to offer a challenging and diverse training experience.
