“…It was also noted that the 3DP heart model shows no heart valves, which might be due to its thinness and dynamic movements. Color Doppler is capable of showing both heart valves and blood flow, and thus may be integrated to improve the quality of images [12]. Second, the cost-effectiveness analysis should be taken into consideration when a cardiologist plans to use a 3DP heart model for preoperative simulation and postoperative evaluation.…”

“…Interventional cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons may benefit from the ability to plan the interventional approach that is most appropriate for the patient using the 3D-printed models. Moreover, patient safety may also be greatly improved by better diagnostic capability and procedural efficiency [1][2][3].…”

“…Three-dimensional printing of cardiovascular models has been derived from computed tomography (CT), cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), and 3D echocardiography, which are powerful imaging modalities that have individual strengths [1][2][3][4]. Computed tomography is an accurate modality for demonstrating extracardiac anatomy in children and adults with CHD.…”

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an emerging technology aiding diagnostics, education, and interventional, and surgical planning in congenital heart disease (CHD). Three-dimensional printing has been derived from computed tomography, cardiac magnetic resonance, and 3D echocardiography. However, individually the imaging modalities may not provide adequate visualization of complex CHD. The integration of the strengths of two or more imaging modalities has the potential to enhance visualization of cardiac pathomorphology. We describe the feasibility of hybrid 3D printing from two imaging modalities in a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (L-TGA). Hybrid 3D printing may be useful as an additional tool for cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons in planning interventions in children and adults with CHD.

Conventional two-dimensional (2D) ultrasonography is the gold standard for diagnosing congenital heart disease (CHD). However, characterization of complex CHD may be limited by 2D imaging methods that lack crucial spatial information, as these images are generated as individual 'slices' without orientation and with a limited field of view lacking depth, and therefore they are not ideal for three-dimensional (3D) modeling and printing. While approximately 90% of 3D printed models of the cardiovascular system are derived from computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 1 , these modalities are used sparingly in clinical practice. Advances in 3D and four-dimensional (4D) ultrasound have expanded the capabilities for assessing the fetal heart and have paved the way for creating ultrasound-derived 3D printed models.Medical 3D printing applications of 3D ultrasound-derived imaging data have been demonstrated for cardiac models of valvular and septal CHD 2 . Olivieri et al. verified the accuracy of models created from 3D ultrasound data of CHD patients 3 . Currently, while 3D ultrasound-derived 3D prints have been used to produce physical models of whole fetuses 4 and for surgical rehearsal prior to fetoscopic repair of spina bifida 5 , the majority of prints have been created for fetal structures with a rest period, such as the face or the back. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of 3D printing of a small fast-moving fetal anatomical structure without a rest period, i.e. the fetal heart, using only 3D ultrasound data.To create a 3D model of a fetal heart, 3D fetal ultrasound data were obtained from a Voluson E10 ultrasound machine (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA).
