Abstract:
To explore the feasibility of rapid proto-typing ( RP) technology in the treatment of Standford type A aortic dissection. 5 patients with Standford type A aortic dissection received computed tomography angiography (CTA) of their aortas. The CTA images were then processed by 3D reconstruction with MIMICS16. 0 in order to create aortic dissection models through RP technology based on real patient aorta size with a ratio of 1 ∶ 1 . Accord-ing to these models, the surgeons were able to fully understand the aortic diseases of patients, thus establish indi-vidualized treatment strategies for each patient. Besides, the surgeons simulated operations on the models, which helped them achieve better results in real surgery. These patients experienced no post-operative complications and were discharged from hospital with recovery. In conclusion, RP technology can provide adequate preoperotive prep-arations for patients with Standford type A aortic dissection, improve operation efficiency and accuracy in aortic dis-section and guide precise proximal anchoring of stents during intracavitary therapy.
