“…However, because of the infrequency with which CHD occurs in the general population, cadaveric donors of different defects are exceedingly rare. Because of this, CHD education would benefit from novel training methods that provide tangible structures not otherwise routinely seen …”

Incorporation of 3D printed models into lectures about CHD imparts a greater acute level of understanding, both subjective and objective, for pediatric and combined pediatric/emergency medicine residents. There does not seem to be an added benefit for understanding ventricular septal defects, but there is for tetralogy of Fallot, likely due to increased complexity of the lesion and difficulty visualizing spatial relationships in CHD with multiple components.

“…One of the important limiting factors associated with success or selection of TCC of PIVSD is the lack of a closure device specifically designed to close PIVSD. An evolution in the design of future closure devices with different shapes and sizes using individually tailored 3‐dimensional printing techniques could improve outcomes …”

Background: Post-myocardial infarction (MI) ventricular septal defects (PIVSD) are an uncommon but life-threatening complication of acute MI. Although surgical closure has been the standard of care, mortality, and recurrence of VSD remain high even after emergent surgery. Transcatheter VSD closure (TCC) devices have become an alternative or adjunct to surgical closure.Methods: Online database search was performed for studies that included adults with PIVSD who underwent medical treatment (MT) alone, surgical closure (SC) (early or late), and TCC (early, late, or for post-surgical residual VSD).Results: Twenty-six studies were included with a total of 737 patients who underwent either MT (N = 100), SC (early (n = 167), late (n = 100)), and TCC (early (n = 176), late (n = 115), or post-surgical residual VSD (n = 79)). The 30-day mortality among MT group was 92 ± 6.3%, among SC was 61 ± 22.5% (early 56 ± 23%, late 41 ± 30%), and for all TCC patients was 33 ± 24% (early 54 ± 32.7%, late 16 ± 26%), and TCC for post-surgical residual VSD 11 ± 34.9%. The mortality among overall SC, overall TCC and early TCC groups was significantly lower as compared with the MT (P < 0.001 for all comparisons).The overall mortality among all TCC, and late TCC groups was significantly lower when compared with the late SC (P < 0.0001, P < 0.0001, respectively). Conclusion: Closure of PIVSD decreases mortality as compared with MT alone and should be attempted as early as possible after diagnosis. Selection of TCC versus SC should be based on factors including complexity of the defect, availability of closure devices, expertise of the operator, and clinical condition of patient.

“…Three dimensional printing is a further innovative technological tool that can make the difference in CHDs surgical treatment. Physical replica of the anatomical district that requires correction, in fact, facilitate a deeper and immediate understanding of the patient lesion and can thus play an important role in orienting surgical decisions 24 . Public and private funding of multidisciplinary research in the CHDs area is now paramount to achieve new goals, since many questions are still unanswered (e.g.…”

Growing up with congenital heart disease: impact on the daily life quality from the perspective of a mother

Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) are the most common and severe anomalies at birth, with over 1 million newborns affected every year in the world. Thanks to the advances in surgical treatment and medical care over the past few decades, the majority of them now reach adulthood and have an acceptable life quality expectancy. However, growing up with a congenital heart disease is far from being an easy task, although satisfactorily managed from the strictly medical point of view. Psychosocial, educational, financial issues, among the others, highly impact on the daily life of both the patients and their families, and a comprehensive and global knowledge of what living with CHDs condition does mean still has to be built in both the scientific and social community. The present report is based on the direct experience of the author, who is mother of a 14 years old boy born with a severe heart defect. Key points on CHD-life management as experienced by the author and her son and family in the past fourteen years are proposed and discussed following a "from inside" perspective. Suggestions aimed at soliciting the design and delivery of ad-hoc support programs is also given. The importance of a multidisciplinary, global approach capable of joining all the scientific, professional and socio-political parts is highlighted.
