Abstract
A three-dimensional model was constructed from helical CT images for abdomi nal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA). A stent-graft was designed and positioned endoluminally on the computer. One hundred and nine stent-grafts for 101 patients were designed by this method and deploy ed well in all patients. The design time was reduced from 4 to 0.5 hr.
