Computational image-based design of 3D-printed tracheobronchial splints.(A) Stereolithography (STL) representation (top) and virtual rendering (bottom) of the tracheobronchial splint demonstrating the bounded design parameters of the device. We used a fixed open angle of 90 degrees to allow placement of the device over the airway. (B) Mechanism of action of the tracheobronchial splint in treating tracheobronchial collapse in TBM. Solid arrows denote positive intrathoracic pressure generated on expiration, hollow arrow denotes vector of tracheobronchial collapse, dashed arrow denotes vector opening wedge displacement of the tracheobronchial splint with airway growth. (C) Digital imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) images of the patient's CT scan were used to generate a 3D model of the patient's airway via segmentation in Mimics. (D) Design parameters were input into MATLAB to generate an output as a series of 2D. (E) Virtual assessment of fit of tracheobronchial splint over segmented primary airway model for all patients. (F) Final 3D-printed PCL tracheobronchial splint used to treat the left bronchus of patient 2.
