Video 1 (.rm format). A virtual heart model was reconstructed from three-dimensional MRI in a volunteer. A ventricular septal defect was manually introduced in the model before importing it in the real-time surgical incision simulator presented in this paper. The video shows the interactive making of a trans-ventricular and a trans-atrial incision in order to investigate the access to the septal defect by the respective surgical approaches.
