The Dhaka Times Desk Same news again. Now it is said in the news that 3D printed arteries will save lives! Doctors performed a life-saving surgery on a woman with the help of a 3D printed model.
According to media reports, doctors recently performed a life-saving surgery on a woman with the help of a 3D printed model of an artery inside her brain.
It is learned that the surgery was performed to fix a swollen part of the artery wall inside the patient's head. In medical terms, this problem is called an aneurysm. It could not be fixed even if it was operated on by conventional methods of surgeons.
New York resident Theresa Flint was diagnosed with the condition after suffering from vision problems and headaches, it said. Due to the fear of death in the conventional medical system, it was left untreated.
It is reported that a metal basket is placed to add energy to the arterial wall in the conventional way, said the chief medical officer of the team conducting this treatment. Adnan Siddiqui.
He added, 'It was such a serious problem at that point that he was suffering from a very unusual aneurysm, which had to be done with micro-surgery.'
The doctor said that a 3D printed model was made from Flint's brain scan with the help of 3D printing specialist Stratasys. That's why doctors get a replica to plan the operation.
Dr. Siddiqui also said, 'When we were working on that process, we realized that some of the equipment we wanted to use had to be changed. On the day of the surgery we tried to do something good.' As a result of this treatment method, this complex disease will be eliminated, that is, 3D printed arteries will save lives!
