How Precise Are Preinterventional Measurements Using Centerline Analysis Applications? Objective Ground Truth Evaluation Reveals Software-Specific Centerline Characteristics

Abstract

One clinically approved application did not provide reproducible centerline-based analysis results, while another approved application showed length errors that might influence stent-graft choice and procedure success. The variety and specific characteristics of endovascular aneurysm repair planning software tools require scientific evaluation and user awareness.

Utility of 3D printed abdominal aortic aneurysm phantoms: a systematic review

“…Nineteen publications utilized 3DP AAA phantoms to aid presurgical decision making and device selection, constituting the majority of publications. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Of these, nine publications specifically explored the utility of 3D printing the visceral aortic segment to facilitate physician-modified stent grafts (PMSGs), [8][9][10][13][14][15]17,18,20 with one publication detailing the incorporation of phantoms into the commercial fenestrated device manufacturing workflow. 22 Four publications explored the utility of phantoms as EVAR trainers, [23][24][25][26] and one publication examined the technology as a tool for patient education.…”

“…Snowballing revealed a further four articles, resulting in a total of 25 articles for critical appraisal. Nineteen publications utilized 3DP AAA phantoms to aid presurgical decision making and device selection, constituting the majority of publications 3–21 . Of these, nine publications specifically explored the utility of 3D printing the visceral aortic segment to facilitate physician‐modified stent grafts (PMSGs), 8–10,13–15,17,18,20 with one publication detailing the incorporation of phantoms into the commercial fenestrated device manufacturing workflow 22 .…”

Diagnostik und Therapie traumatischer Aortenverletzungen

“…Meist können diese Komplikationen aber mithilfe einer endovaskulären Versorgung behoben werden [ 34 ]. Die präoperative Planung, empfohlen auf der Basis einer EKG-getriggerten Dünnschicht-CTA, ist ein essenzieller Beitrag zum erfolgreichen Ergebnis [ 18 , 45 ]. Letztlich spart eine gute bildbasierte TEVAR-Planung auch Interventionszeit ein.…”
