3D Printing‐guided Endovascular Repair of Enormous Twisted Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm with Branch Stenosis and Occlusion

A 67-year-old male patient was admitted with an enormous twisted thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) with multiple branch arteries stenosis and occlusion. Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology combined with mechanics was used for developing a transparent model of lesion to simulate the segment of diseased aorta. A stent graft was deployed in the 3D model to make a physician-modified stent graft (PMSGs) on table. The locations of the opening of branches were marked twice during operation. The PMSG was successfully deployed during the surgery and repaired the TAAA, with no endoleak and all the branched arteries patency in follow-up. This technique could offer precision individualized therapy and could simplify the procedure process greatly.
