AB  - The purpose of this study is to recreate live patient arterial anomalies using 
      new recent application of three-dimensional (3D) printed anatomical models. 
      Another purpose of building such models is to evaluate the effectiveness of 
      angiographic data. With the help of the DICOM files from computed tomographic 
      angiography (CT-A), we were able to build a printed model of variant course of 
      the internal carotid artery (ICA). Images of coiling of the ICA taken by CT-A, 
      were then converted into 3D images using Google SketchUp free software, and the 
      images were saved in stereolithography format. Imaging helped us conduct the 
      examination in details with reference to geometrical features of ICA, degree of 
      curve, its extension, location and presence of loop. Challenging vascular anatomy 
      was exposed with models of adverse curve of carotid anatomy, including highly 
      angulated necks, conical necks, short necks, tortuous carotid arteries, and 
      narrowed carotid lumens. It assisted us to comprehend spatial anatomy 
      configuration of life-like models. 3D model can be very effective in cases when 
      anatomical difficulties are detected through the CT-A, and therefore, a tactile 
      approach is demanded preoperatively. 3D life-like models serve as an essential 
      office-based tool in vascular surgery as they assist surgeons in preoperative 
      planning, develop intraoperative guidance, teach both the patients and the 
      surgical trainees, and simulate to show patient-specific procedures in medical 
      field.
