Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The accuracy of fenestrations in stent grafts for complex aortic aneurysms and dissections can be significantly improved using three-dimensional (3D)-printed phantoms. Standardization is enhanced by using artificial intelligence (AI) for image pre-processing before 3D printing. These methods address fallacies in centerline image analysis and manual image pre-processing. This review examines the application of 3D printing and AI in complex aortic aneurysm repair, highlighting current clinical trends.
