MRA-based 3D-printed heart model—an effective tool in the pre-surgical planning of DORV

A three-dimensional (3D) printed heart model based on contrast-enhanced MR angiography data was obtained in an 8-month-old male child with double-outlet right ventricle. The model could successfully show the spatial relationship between the aortic annulus, the pulmonary valve and the ventricular sep...

Sumario:A three-dimensional (3D) printed heart model based on contrast-enhanced MR angiography data was obtained in an 8-month-old male child with double-outlet right ventricle. The model could successfully show the spatial relationship between the aortic annulus, the pulmonary valve and the ventricular septal defect. The patient underwent complete intracardiac repair based on the 3D model. MR angiography images could be successfully used to create a true-size 3D heart model, which significantly helped in assessing the routability of the ventricular septal defect to the aorta, leading to successful intracardiac repair in our patient.
