Abstract
In life-threatening conditions in the vessels of the brain, neurointervention can be the treatment that saves lives. With only one incision in the vessel of the groin, a catheter can be navigated to the affected vessel and treatment can be performed using tools inserted through the catheter.

In this report, a training model for neurointervention consisting of interconnected vascular models has been developed and produced. The purpose was partly to facilitate and accelerate the training of new interventionists, and partly to enable planning and training for complex procedures. 3D printing technology, which is often already applied in the largest hospitals, was used. This contributed to a low cost, short production time and the... (More)
In life-threatening conditions in the vessels of the brain, neurointervention can be the treatment that saves lives. With only one incision in the vessel of the groin, a catheter can be navigated to the affected vessel and treatment can be performed using tools inserted through the catheter.

In this report, a training model for neurointervention consisting of interconnected vascular models has been developed and produced. The purpose was partly to facilitate and accelerate the training of new interventionists, and partly to enable planning and training for complex procedures. 3D printing technology, which is often already applied in the largest hospitals, was used. This contributed to a low cost, short production time and the possibility of being able to alter and individually adapt the vessel models. To recreate a correct anatomy and enable individual adaptation, vessels were segmented from patient images. A complete training model was created by connecting vessel models and PVC hoses using couplings modeled in CAD.

The work has been carried out at the 3D Center at Skåne University Hospital in Lund via Lund University. The work resulted in a working training model at a low cost compared to existing models on the market. (Less)
