Abstract

Patients with complicated paravisceral aortic aneurysms requiring urgent repair have limited surgical options. Such patients are typically treated with open repair or chimney visceral stent-grafts. Back-table creation of physician-modified endografts (PMEGs) is another method to produce custom devices for such patients. However, this process is challenging and time-consuming and can be imprecise. Therefore, we aimed to produce a rapid method for generating a template for PMEGs with an “off-the-shelf” option using sterilizable three-dimensionally (3D) printed aortic models for visceral vessel alignment.
