Description
Summary:The latest developments in three-dimensional printing technology both in terms of equipment and materials offer a new opportunity in the microsurgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms. 3D printed model of the patient’s aneurysms enables optimal anatomical visualization with personalized preoperative planning. This is a retrospective study of a series of 16 patients suffering from ruptured intracranial aneurysms, admitted and microsurgical treated based on rapid 3D printed models to our clinic from September 2016 to March 2018. We analyzed the dates concerning patient demographics, clinical, surgical technique and outcomes correlated with the data of the 3D-printed replica used for planning emergency surgeries.
