Evaluation of 3D printing in planning, practicing, and training for endovascular lower extremity arterial interventions

Background: In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential role of 3D-printed physical and digital anatomical models in pre-procedural planning, practice and training in lower extremity arterial interventions. Methods: A total of 16 patients (9 males, 7 females; mean age: 72.1±1.5 years; range, 69 to 75 years) who underwent superficial femoral artery balloon angioplasty between February 2016 and April 2019 were retrospectively reviewed for vascular access site preference and balloon sizing. Pre-procedural computed tomography volumetric images used for diagnosis were analyzed and modeled with 3D printing. Procedural and 3D-based data regarding the size of the balloon and deployment sites and the severity of the stenosis were compared. Results: Measurements obtained from 3D models manually and segmentation images from software were similar (p>0.05). Both were smaller than the actual size of balloons used (p
