Mastering coronary angiography requires practice. Cadavers and animals do not accurately represent the human anatomical body, and practicing with actual patients has medical safety issues. Simulation offers safe and realistic conditions for cardiology intervention training. In this study, we propose a novel 3D printed simulator that contains physically realistic anatomy and has four access points. It increases safety for patients and students, and production is low-cost. We aimed to make and validate this simulator design as a prototype for coronary cannulation training. It was designed using computed tomography (CT) scan data of aorta, coronary, and heart models, and was printed by 3D printing with resin materials consisting of 75% or 85% clear resin and 25% or 15% flexible resin additive. The simulator was constructed with a camera above the simulator with a degree of LAO of 30°/0°, a display table, and an acrylic box. Twelve validators were interviewed for their expert opinions and analyzed by a qualitative method. They scored the simulator’s suitability on a four-point Likert scale questionnaire. They described the simulator as having admirable values for all aspects (85.8%), curriculum suitability (92%), educational importance (94%), accuracy (83%), efficiency (78%), safety (87.5%), endurance (81.2%), aesthetics (80.7%), storage (85.4%), and affordability (85.8%).

A bibliometric analysis of 275 publications related to the design and development of Ventricular assist devices (VAD) has been conducted to analyze the developments in this research domain since 1990. This field of research has been witnessing a significant growth in terms of number of publications as more researchers are showing interest in this field, with the technological advancements in the past few years. This is first such bibliometric study in design and development of VAD, which uses data from both Scopus as well as Web of Science (WOS) databases. Research advancement in this domain can be divided into two stages: first stage (1990 to 2004) saw slow growth (N = 65) while second stage (from 2005 onwards) witnessed an increase in publications (N = 210). Most of the significant research work has been carried out in developed countries like USA, China, Germany, Japan, United Kingdom and France etc. This study presents a comprehensive examination of pivotal moments in the evolution of Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) research, along with potential avenues for future exploration in various VAD research domains such as the utilization of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to enhance the design, utilization, and data-driven optimization of VADs.
