CT-Reconstructed Three-Dimensional Printed Models of the Right Subclavian Artery and Aorta Define Age-Related Changes and Facilitate Benchtop Catheter Testing
09/27/2014
Age is associated with elongation, tortuosity, and posterior unfolding of the right subclavian artery. Three-dimensional printing of normal and tortuous arteries is feasible and shows potential to test differences between catheters.
