Three-dimensionally (3D) printed models have been increasingly used in medicine.Few reports have focused on prototype experiments, especially in aortic surgery.Although endovascular repairs are routinely equi-jec 6 performed for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms and lesions involving the aortic arch, endovascular treatment of the ascending aorta is still at an early stage of development.Using a 3D model, based on patient computed tomography scans and manufactured by Biomodex (Paris, France), we performed a patient-specific rehearsal of an endovascular Bentall repair to treat an ascending aorta aneurysm involving the aortic root.
