Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing has garnered increased interest in the field of pediatric cardiology in the last decade. 3D models play a substantial role in helping to understand intricate intra- and extracardiac anatomy of patients with complex congenital heart disease (CHD). These models can be used for presurgical and pre-catheterization planning and procedural simulation, with the ultimate goal of reducing operative times, decreasing intraoperative complications, and shortening postoperative hospital stays (Bramlet, M. et al. Circ Res 120:904-907, 2017). We describe cases in which 3D printing was instrumental in patient management.
