Feasibility of Device Closure for Multiple Atrial Septal Defects With an Inferior Sinus Venosus Defect: Procedural Planning Using Three-Dimensional Printed Models

“…printing-guided percutaneous transcatheter closure of secundum ASD with rim deficiency in six patients [10]. This was followed by a report by Zhu et al in patients with multiple secundum ASD [11] and finally by Velasco Forte et al in patients with superior sinus venosus ASD and partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage [12].…”

Clinical situations for which 3D printing is considered an appropriate representation or extension of data contained in a medical imaging examination: pediatric congenital heart disease conditions

“…Typically, this category refers to a defect in the sinus venosus component of the atrial septum, that results in a pathologic communication between the right and left atrium in conjunction with anomalous systemic or pulmonary venous drainage. Less commonly, this can also describe a coronary sinus septal defect (unroofed coronary sinus) as well as device evaluation in secundum ASDs with deficient rims [ 4 , 7 , 15 ] or in the presence of multiple ASDs [ 14 ]. There is substantial qualitative support [ 4 – 17 ] for 3D printing for ASDs with additional complexity especially for interventional planning.…”

Imaging-Based, Patient-Specific Three-Dimensional Printing to Plan, Train, and Guide Cardiovascular Interventions: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…Valverde et al [9] extended the use of 3DPSP to the field of transcatheter cardiovascular interventions and reported 3DPSP being a valuable adjunct in planning and simulating endovascular stenting in transverse aortic arch hypoplasia. Following this approach, feasibility of 3DPSP to identify the optimal prosthesis in terms of size for transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect or patent ductus arteriosus was demonstrated [10,11]. Also, 3DPSP can enrich patient counselling [12][13][14] and affect clinical decision making [15].…”
