Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is important to make the new method of aortic aneurysm model in order to find out the new treatment for aortic aneurysm. We had the experiments of making the aortic aneurysm model with the catheter which is a narrow tube.
As a result, we could make the aortic aneurysm model. However, it was very low rate to make the aneurysm model and the shapes were irregular. It was not useful as an aortic anerysm model.
