Objective To establish virtual three-dimensional models of interventional devices and individualized surgical area structure in transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS)treatment,and to explore the value of virtual models for preoperative simulation in TIPS treatment.Methods Thin slice scan data of 8 patients with supine upper abdomen were obtained,three dimensional structures of bone,liver,portal vein,inferior vena cava and hepatic vein in CT scan area were reconstructed in Mimics software.According to the size of interventional instruments,a virtual RUPS-100 puncture kit and an VIATORR stent were established in 3D MAX software. Computer simulations were performed to evaluate the route from the hepatic vein puncture portal vein using the RUPS-100 puncture kit and VIATORR stent release position.Results ①The establishment of individual three-dimensional model of patients was helpful for doctors to understand the spatial relation of hepatic vein and portal vein.②Through simulation,the puncture parameters of multi angle and multi position are obtained,which was helpful for the doctor to adjust the puncture direction according to the puncture point.③The position of the bare segment of the VIATORR stent in the portal vein was obtained by simulation,which was helpful for evaluating the length of the stent.④The preoperative simulation results included the simulation parameters for each patient puncture into left portal vein,right portal vein and portal vein bifurcation.In the actual operation,we punctured into the portal vein bifurcation in 4 cases,into the right branch in 2 cases and into the left in 2 cases.⑤Preoperative simulations were performed using 8 mm×6 cm×2 cm size VIATORR stent.Howere,the actual operation of the first case was lack of experience,and the stent position was lower,then we released a bare stent at the proximal end of the VIATORR stent.The rest of the cases were the same as the simulation results.Conclusion According to the three-dimensional model of the individual structure of the patient,the preoperative simulations have high fidelity.The simulation results of the parameters of the puncture and the release position of the stent could guide the actual operation more accurately.It is of practical value to improve the success rate of operation and to train residents.
