The device of the laboratory of the Bashkir State Medical University helped save the life of a patient with aortic dissection
In Ufa, at the Republican Cardiology Center, surgeons performed a unique operation using a 3D printer
To a patient - a man diagnosed with aortic dissection - doctors performed endovascular surgery to install a stent graft.
Considering the complex anatomy, scientists-engineers of the laboratory of additive technologies of the Bashkir State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of Russia urgently formed a 3D model of the aorta for more accurate preoperative planning of the operation. Using a 3D model, scientists modeled special holes in an implantable metal mesh designed for arteries.
"The thoracic aorta has a complex structure with branches of vessels, which are located in each in its own way. The use of 3D technologies increases the accuracy of the operation and, importantly, reduces the duration of the operation, since the assembly and delivery of stent grafts for each patient takes from four months. With the help of new technologies, we reduce the time for helping patients to 10 hours. The new technique helps to remove the risk of postoperative complications and increases the accuracy of the intervention by up to 95%. Only certified materials and the latest modern equipment are used in the work, "Fanir Kilmukhametov, an employee of the laboratory of additive technologies of BSMU, told the Universities of the Russian Federation.
The new technique was developed by employees of the laboratory of additive technologies of the Bashkir State Medical University Fanir Kilmukhametov and an employee of the cardiocenter, assistant of the department of topographic anatomy and operative surgery of the Bashkir State Medical University Afzal Tukhtaboev.
One of the main tasks of research in the additive technology laboratory is to create a smart implant that will interact with a person at all stages.
