Sumario:OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility of three-dimensional (3D) images of the aortic arch reconstructed using a novel image processing algorithm for non-enhanced computed tomography (CT) images of the cervicothorax and abdomen obtained before emergency endovascular surgery. CASE PRESENTATIONS: In all, 46 patients who underwent acute mechanical thrombectomy between January and December 2018 were examined. The anatomical variations of the aortic arch were reproduced in all cases; however, the reproduction of the carotid arteries was difficult. CONCLUSION: Our novel 3D analysis system enables obtaining information on the aortic arch easily from plain CT data that may be useful in acute endovascular treatment.
