Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Microcatheterization is crucial but challenging for intracranial aneurysm embolization.
  • Developing improved techniques for microcatheter manipulation is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the utility of three-dimensional (3D) printing in shaping microcatheters.
  • To assess the effectiveness of 3D printed models for microcatheter navigation.

Main Methods:

  • A 3D model of the internal carotid artery posterior communicating artery aneurysm and parent artery was created using CT angiography data.
  • Microcatheters were shaped using flexible, hollow 3D printed models immersed in 50°C water.
  • Shaped microcatheters were sterilized and used for embolization in nine patients.

Main Results:

  • All nine microcatheter shaping procedures were successful, eliminating the need for shaping needles.
  • Microcatheters achieved ideal positioning without rebound, facilitating stent-assisted embolization in wide-neck aneurysms.
  • No surgery-related complications occurred during the embolization procedures.

Conclusions:

  • Three-dimensional printing offers a novel and effective method for microcatheter shaping.
  • This technique enhances the stability and efficiency of intracranial artery aneurysm embolization.
