Abstract:Objectives —We sought to investigate the technical
feasibility, fidelity and the potential applications of
three-dimensional(3D) printed atrial septal defect (ASD) models based on
three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE) images
preliminarily. Methods—We retrospectively collected 40 ASD
patients’ 3D-TEE images. The 3D-TEE data were imported into
post-processing software to create printable 3D digital models, the
patient-specific models were then printed by the 3D printer. Fidelity of
the 3D p… Show more
