Three-dimensional (3D) printing has been used in medicine with applications in many different fields. 3D printing allows patient education, interventionalists training, preprocedural planning, and assists the interventionalist to improve treatment outcomes. 3D printing represents a potential advancement by allowing the printing of flexible vascular models. In this article, the authors report a clinical case using 3D printing to perform a physician-modified fenestrated endograft. An overview of 3D printing in vascular and endovascular surgery is provided, focusing on its potential applications for training, education, preprocedural planning, and current clinical applications.
