Negli ultimi decenni, il progresso tecnologico in campo cardiochirurgico ha portato allo sviluppo di nuove tecniche mini-invasive e percutanee per la cura delle valvulopatie. Queste procedure, permettendo di ripristinare la funzione valvolare senza fermare il battito cardiaco e senza aprire il torace, hanno lo scopo di ridurre l’invasività dell’operazione e diminuire i rischi associati rispetto alle procedure chirurgiche convenzionali. Dato che l’esito di queste nuove tecniche è fortemente correlato all’esperienza dell’operatore, la poca conoscenza delle procedure, l’introduzione di nuovi dispositivi e l’utilizzo di nuovi strumenti evidenziano la necessità e l’importanza del training cardiochirurgico. Diversi studi dimostrano come sia fondamentale che studenti e chirurghi imparino tali procedure in modo standardizzato al fine di ottimizzare la curva di apprendimento e garantire prestazioni migliori in tempi minori. Il presente lavoro di tesi si pone come obiettivo lo sviluppo di un simulatore per il training clinico finalizzato al miglioramento dell’abilità dell’operatore nell’esecuzione di procedure transcatetere.

Abstract
In the last decades, technological progress in the field of cardiothoracic surgery has brought to the development of new minimally invasive and percutaneous techniques for the treatment of valvulopathies. These procedures, giving the possibility of restoring the valvular function without stopping the heart beat and without opening the thorax, aim at reducing the invasiveness of the intervention and diminishing the risks associated with conventional procedures. Since the outcome of these new techniques is highly correlated to the operator’s experience, the little knowledge of the procedures, the introduction of new devices and the use of new instruments highlight the need and importance of cardiac surgery training. Several studies demonstrate how fundamental it is that students and surgeons learn these procedures in a standardized way, so to optimize the learning curve and guarantee better performances in shorter time. The present thesis aims at developing a simulator for clinic training aimed at improving the operator’s abilities in the execution of transcatheter procedures.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
