Posterior view of the aortic arch with subsequent editing steps to obtain the final model. A. In red, the anatomy is depicted as derived from the angio-CT. The part in green is cut out to truncate the model to fit within the building volume of the printer. The blue arrow indicates the stenosis location. B. The pink model is the result of the truncation at the common carotid artery level. C. The blue model shows the manually added and gold colored ridge, also indicated by the arrows. The golden ridge shows the position where the carotid artery will be deroofed. D. The white model shows the final deroofed model, which is the result of expanding the pink model B towards the outer edge by 1 mm and subtracting the blue model C. The white model is printed as depicted in Fig. 3
