Three-dimensional (3D) Printed Hemodialysis Vascular Model
Sponsor: Brigham and Women's Hospital
Summary
Infiltration of a surgically-placed hemodialysis vascular access (HVA) is recognized as a major contributor to the high hospital re-admission rate in dialysis-dependent patients. Three dimensional modeling has been demonstrated as a critical tool for procedurists in preparation for surgical interventions but no such modeling is yet available for dialysis specialists to avoid the common complication of HVA infiltration. Contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) can be used to generate a three dimensional image data that could render a three dimensional resin-based model of a vascular access.
