The Jacobs Institute (JI), working alongside physicians at Kaleida Health’s Gates Vascular Institute and biomedical engineers at the University at Buffalo, teamed up with Stratasys to design a revolutionary new approach to repair the complex brain aneurysm for a lucky mother-of-three. The life-like 3D printed vascular replica significantly reduced risks associated with this complex surgery and corrected a near-fatal condition. This stirring video illustrates the life-saving power of 3D printed surgical guides as surgeons can now practice and evaluate complicated procedures on precise replicas of patient anatomies.
