A Method for Developing a Free-Standing Cerebrovascular Lumen Model.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This report describes the creation of a freestanding cerebrovascular model with an attached Luer valve device and a bridge.

Case presentation

A left internal carotid artery aneurysm was discovered during a detailed examination of headaches in a 70-year-old woman. A vascular lumen model was created for the pretreatment simulation. The addition of a male Luer valve and bridge to the vascular lumen model created using the multistep vascular wall thickness method facilitated lumen washing, support material removal, self-support, and compatibility with medical devices.

Conclusion

By adding Luer valves and struts and creating cerebral vascular lumen models with appropriate vessel wall thicknesses, we can enhance their efficiency, strength, and utility in preoperat
