The aim of our work is to highlight the additional value of three-dimensional (3D) printing during preoperative planning of challenging endovascular cases. To our best knowledge, this is the first report about 3D printing use in a case of type II endoleak (EL). We believe that realizing life-size aortic models in selected cases where a complex type II EL embolization procedure is indicated, could lead to a better understanding of arterial anatomy, thus allowing to increase procedural success and reduce operative and most importantly fluoroscopy time.
