Minimally invasive surgery procedures are getting common in surgical practice; however the new interventional procedure requires different skills compared to the conventional surgical techniques. The need for training process is very important in order to successfully and safely execute a surgical procedure. Computer-based simulators, with appropriate tactile feedback device, can be an efficient method for facilitating the education and training process. In addition, virtual reality surgical simulators can reduce costs of education and provide realism with regard to tissues behaviour and real-time interaction. This work take into account the results of the HERMES Project (HEmatology Research virtual MEdical System), conceived and managed by Consorzio CETMA-Research Centre; the aim of this project is to build an integrate system in order to simulate a coronary angioplasty intervention.
微创手术程序在外科手术实践中越来越普遍；然而，与传统手术技术相比，这种新的介入程序需要不同的技能。为了成功且安全地执行手术程序，培训过程非常重要。基于计算机的模拟器，配备适当的触觉反馈设备，可能是促进教育和培训过程的一种有效方法。此外，虚拟现实手术模拟器可以降低教育成本，并在组织行为和实时交互方面提供真实感。这项工作考虑了由CETMA - 研究中心联盟构思和管理的HERMES项目（血液学研究虚拟医疗系统）的结果；该项目的目的是构建一个集成系统，以模拟冠状动脉血管成形术干预。
