Abstract
Systems () for the simulation of percutaneous medical procedures are disclosed. The systems can include a simulated vasculature including a first component () configured to allow for introduction of a medical device into the system through an introductory port, a second component () connected to the first component and shaped to simulate a portion of a human vasculature, and a third component () connected to the second component and shaped to simulate a delivery site for the medical procedure. The system can be configured to allow for a medical device to be delivered to the third component by passing through the introductory port of the first component and passing through the second component. The system can be configured to replicate simulated conditions of use for the medical procedure. Methods for simulating a percutaneous medical procedure using a simulated vasculature are also disclosed.
