Clinical use of 3D printed models for anterior communicating artery aneurysm clipping: a prospective cohort study
3D printed models derived from DSA imaging significantly enhance the surgical management of ACoA aneurysms, offering improved diagnostic accuracy, reduced complications, and better functional outcomes. The average production time of 2-8 h and cost of approximately $120 USD per model make this approach feasible even for time-sensitive cases. These findings highlight the potential of patient-specific 3D models as a valuable adjunct in the management of complex ACoA aneurysms.
