The 3D printed models technology for the management of intracranial aneurysms

Abstract

Management of intracranial aneurysms is still a therapeutic challenge, especially in cases of complex lesions. Thus, the improvement of the study and intervention planning possibilities correlated with the access to continuous professional training based on simulation and clinical diversity represent optimal conditions for the efficient solution of this pathology. The development of three-dimensional printing technology offers a new opportunity in the modern treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The aim of this study is to present some aspects related to the materials and methods of manufacturing simulation models of individual 3D printed aneurysms and their influence in the optimal management of these lesions.
