Advanced 3D printed model of middle cerebral artery aneurysms for neurosurgery simulation
Journal Title: 3D Printing in Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue
Abstract
Neurosurgical residents are finding it more difficult to obtain experience as the primary operator in aneurysm surgery. The present study aimed to replicate patient-derived cranial anatomy, pathology and human tissue properties relevant to cerebral aneurysm intervention through 3D printing and 3D print-driven casting techniques. The final simulator was designed to provide accurate simulation of a human head with a middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm.
