Despite the new ideas were inspired in medical treatment by the rapid advancement of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, there is still rare research work reported on 3D printing of coronary arteries being documented in the literature. In this work, the application value of 3D printing technology in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases has been explored via comparison study between the 3D printed vascular solid model and the computer aided design (CAD) model. In this paper, a new framework is proposed to achieve a 3D printing vascular model with high simulation. e patient-speci c 3D reconstruction of the coronary arteries is performed by the detailed morphological information abstracted from the contour of the vessel lumen. In the process of reconstruction which has 5 steps, the morphological details of the contour view of the vessel lumen are merged along with the curvature and length information provided by the coronary angiography. After comparing with the diameter of the narrow section and the diameter of the normal section in CAD models and 3D printing model, it can be concluded that there is a high correlation between the diameter of vascular stenosis measured in 3D printing models and computer aided design models. e 3D printing model has high-modeling ability and high precision, which can represent the original coronary artery appearance accurately. It can be adapted for prevascularization planning to support doctors in determining the surgical procedures.

“…3D printed heart models offer a resolution to this dilemma. Surveys of surgeons who participated in hands-on surgical training on 3D congenital heart models found the 3D heart models acceptable for surgical practice (Yoo, Spray, Austin, Yun, & van Arsdell, 2017). In fact, trainees may find 3D printed models a better educational tool for surgery than 3D rendered images.…”

Complex unrepaired congenital heart disease requires extensive planning to determine the optimal procedural approach. Conventional noninvasive diagnostic imaging initially provides only two-dimensional (2D) representations of the complex, three-dimensional cardiovascular anatomy. With the expansion of 3D visualization techniques in imaging, a paradigm shift has occurred in complex congenital heart disease surgical planning using digital and 3D printed heart models. There has been early success in demonstrating the benefit of these models in interdisciplinary communication and education. The future goal of this work is to demonstrate a clinical outcome benefit using digital and 3D printed models to plan both surgical and catheterization-based interventional procedures. Ultimately, the hope is that advanced procedural planning with virtual surgery and 3D printing will enhance decision-making in complex congenital heart disease cases resulting in improved perioperative performance by reducing operative times, complications, and reoperations.

“…One of the most common uses of 3D printing in medicine is creating CHD anatomical models due to the complex anatomical relationships of vital structures. These models can be used as a visualization and simulation tool for surgical training, to improve patient education, and to enhance crossspecialty communication (Biglino et al, 2015;Yoo, Spray, Austin, Yun, & van Arsdell, 2017;Zhao, Zhou, Fan, Li, Liang, & Dong, 2018).…”

Use of 3D printing technology is expanding in healthcare. One of the common applications is the creation of anatomical models of congenital heart defects (CHD) from medical image data. These patient-specific models are being used for multiple purposes including visualization of anatomy, simulation of surgical procedures, patient education, and facilitating communication between clinical staff. The process for creating CHD models begins with acquiring volumetric image data that is segmented using medical image processing software. A virtual 3D model is calculated based on the segmented data which can be further refined using computer-aided design software. Last, the virtual model is transferred to a 3D printer for production. By obtaining detailed knowledge on the process for creating patient-specific CHD anatomical models, institutions can implement the technology in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
