3D-Printed brain models could make aneurysm repair safer
NCT ID NCT05419661
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using a 3D-printed copy of a patient's brain aneurysm can help doctors plan treatment and avoid problems. About 40 adults with unruptured aneurysms will have their aneurysm printed from scans, then doctors will practice the procedure on the model before the real treatment. The goal is to see if this planning reduces mistakes and makes the procedure faster and safer.
