Pulsatile Heart Models for Training in Pediatric Cardiology

Objectives: The handling of a catheter and the related instruments is very difficult to learn. Moreover, in today’s medical curricula theoretical courses are directly followed by working on patients that puts enormous pressure on trainee doctors. Therefore, we want to setup a simulation training using a 3D printed anatomical model with pulsatile flow to realize a stress-free learning environment in the catheter laboratory.
