Objective: To assess the clinical value of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology for treatment strategies for complex double outlet right ventricle (DORV).Methods: Twenty-five patients with complex double outlet right ventricle were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into two groups: 3D printing group (eight patients) and a non-3-D printing control group (17 patients). The cardiac images of patients in the 3D printing group were transformed to Digital Imaging and Communications and were segmented and reconstructed to create a heart model. No cardiac models were created in the control group. A Pearson coefficient analysis was used to assess the correlation between measurements of 3D printed models and computed tomography angiography (CTA) data. Pre-operative assessment and planning were performed with 3D printed models, and then operative time and recovery time were compared between the two groups. The 3D printing technique is a process of creating 3D solid objects from digital files and this technology has been applied to cardiovascular surgery in recent years. 3D printing technology can print precise heart models which can provide detailed information of intracardiac and extracardiac structures.This has aided in the surgical resection of cardiac tumors and has been used to assist in the repair of type A dissections. 2,3 This study was undertaken to assess the role of 3D printed models in planning pre-operative strategies for the surgical repair of DORV.CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE 24 |

“…160 Congenital Heart Disease 3D echocardiography methods, including 3D TEE, have been reported as powerful tools for evaluating congenital heart diseases. [161][162][163][164][165][166][167][168][169][170][171][172][173][174][175] In an early study, real-time transthoracic 3D echocardiographic measurements of the maximum dimension, maximum circumference, and maximum area of the ASD agreed well with the sizing balloon in the catheterization laboratory. 170 Live/real-time 3D TEE can visualize an ASD with better imaging quality than transthoracic 3D echocardiography ( Figure 6) and can assist in and confirm the successful closure of the ASD, demonstrating the clinical feasibility of this echo method.…”

Three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography is one of the most promising methods for the diagnosis of cardiac disease. Left and right ventricular size and function are currently evaluated with 2D echocardiography. However, for unpredictable asymmetry of the chamber geometry, conventional 2D echocardiography cannot be used to accurately determine absolute chamber volumes and ejection fraction. As for valvular heart diseases, the 3D echo approach has proven to be the most unique, powerful, and convincing method for understanding the complicated anatomy of the valves and their dynamism. The method has been useful for surgical management, including robotic mitral valve repair. Moreover, this method has become indispensable for nonsurgical procedures such as edge-to-edge mitral valve repair. Color Doppler 3D echo has also been valuable to identify the location of the regurgitant orifice, and the severity and character of the valvular regurgitation. In addition, 3D echo is invaluable in the diagnosis and management of congenital heart disease and in certain other situations, such as evaluation of the aortic annulus for transcatheter aortic valve implantation or replacement. It is now clear that 3D echocardiography, especially with the continued development of real-time 3D transesophageal echo technology, will enhance the diagnosis and management of patients with heart diseases.

“…These imaging methods may involve intravenous contrast, sedation, and ionizing radiation [5]. As mentioned by Luo [1], if we required patients to have CT scans for the sole purpose of 3D printing, it would certainly increase their radiation exposure.…”

“…This might be quite promising because echocardiographs are nonradiative. In fact, 3D echocardiographic images have been optimized by new ultrasound machines with 3D reconstruction functions like CT and MRI, as well as new echocardiographic transducers and advanced software and hardware [5]. The Philips EPIQ7 ultrasound machine employed by our research team has functions including Live3D, Full-Volume, 3D-Zoom, and 3D-Zoom Color, which enable it to deliver a real-time dynamic 3D display of the heart structure.…”
