Application of 3D printing technology in the treatment of intracranial aneurysm and arteriovenous malformation / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

3D printing is to complete replication or creation process for the object items through digital modeling for the prototype under the control of a computer. 3D printing can complete the individual replication and achieve accurate simulation for the object shape and structure. Using a variety of medical imaging results to implement data modeling, 3D printing technology has the outstanding advantages in the biomedical field. In recent years, 3D printing technology has been applied in the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of cerebrovascular diseases. This article briefly review s the application of 3D printing technology in intracranial aneurysms and arteriovenous malformation, and the prospect of future application is prospected.
