Augmenting Preoperative Microsurgical Planning via 3D Printed Flexible Aneurysm Models

This case study demonstrates how advanced imaging and 3D printing can improve surgical planning for complex brain aneurysms. By creating a high-resolution, flexible vascular model from detailed MRI data, surgeons were able to physically explore the patient’s unique vessel anatomy and practice clip placement before surgery. The realistic model improved visualization of intricate vascular structures, helping to guide more precise and confident surgical decisions.
