Dynamic Virtual Simulation with Real-Time Haptic Feedback for Robotic Internal Mammary Artery Harvesting.

ABSTRACT: Coronary heart disease, a leading global cause of mortality, has witnessed significant advancement through robotic coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), with the internal mammary artery (IMA) emerging as the preferred "golden conduit" for its exceptional long-term patency. Despite these advances, robotic-assisted IMA harvesting remains challenging due to the absence of force feedback, complex surgical maneuvers, and proximity to the beating heart. This study introduces a novel virtual simulation platform for robotic IMA harvesting that integrates dynamic anatomical modeling and real-time haptic feedback. By incorporating a dynamic cardiac model into the surgical scene, our system precisely simulates the impact of cardiac pulsation on thoracic cavity operations. The platform features high
