Background:

Endovascular techniques have transformed vascular disease treatment.
Proficiency in diverse endovascular procedures is challenging to attain and maintain.
Three-dimensional (3D) printing offers a novel approach for creating training models.

Purpose of the Study:

To detail the process and technologies for producing 3D-printed vascular models for endovascular training.
To compare various 3D printing methods for their utility in surgical education.
To review the literature and group experience regarding 3D printing in endovascular training.

Main Methods:

Image acquisition from patient scans.
Image post-processing to create printable data.
Selection of appropriate 3D printing technology (e.g., stereolithography, fused deposition modeling).
3D printing of the vascular model.
Post-processing of the printed model.

Main Results:

The 3D printing process, from imaging to finished model, can be completed within a week.
Different 3D printing methods possess distinct advantages, disadvantages, and applications in training.
Prospective studies indicate improved surgical planning for complex endovascular cases.
3D printed models serve as effective simulators, enhancing resident surgical performance and self-assurance.

Conclusions:

3D printing technology provides a viable solution for creating patient-specific vascular models for endovascular training.
These models facilitate improved surgical planning and simulation, leading to better clinical outcomes.
The integration of 3D printing into training curricula is crucial for advancing endovascular surgery education.
