“…Three‐dimensional printed heart models are also shown to be a novel teaching approach in medical education for clinicians, cardiac nurses, and students according to this reported review . Until now, teaching of CHD has been based on pictorial images, diagrams, 2D echocardiography images and cardiac specimens.…”

“…Of the 28 articles, 17 of them (61%) were case reports and case series, based on number of cases ranging from 1 to 12 cases with different CHD and cardiovascular diseases. Ten of them (36%) were cross‐sectional studies, mainly surveying the healthcare professionals, parents, parents of patients and medical students; and 3 of which were randomised controlled trials.…”

Three‐dimensional (3D) printing has shown great promise in medicine with increasing reports in congenital heart disease (CHD). This systematic review aims to analyse the main clinical applications and accuracy of 3D printing in CHD, as well as to provide an overview of the software tools, time and costs associated with the generation of 3D printed heart models. A search of different databases was conducted to identify studies investigating the application of 3D printing in CHD. Studies based on patient's medical imaging datasets were included for analysis, while reports on in vitro phantom or review articles were excluded from the analysis. A total of 28 studies met selection criteria for inclusion in the review. More than half of the studies were based on isolated case reports with inclusion of 1–12 cases (61%), while 10 studies (36%) focused on the survey of opinion on the usefulness of 3D printing by healthcare professionals, patients, parents of patients and medical students, and the remaining one involved a multicentre study about the clinical value of 3D printed models in surgical planning of CHD. The analysis shows that patient‐specific 3D printed models accurately replicate complex cardiac anatomy, improve understanding and knowledge about congenital heart diseases and demonstrate value in preoperative planning and simulation of cardiac or interventional procedures, assist surgical decision‐making and intra‐operative orientation, and improve patient‐doctor communication and medical education. The cost of 3D printing ranges from USD 55 to USD 810. This systematic review shows the usefulness of 3D printed models in congenital heart disease with applications ranging from accurate replication of complex cardiac anatomy and pathology to medical education, preoperative planning and simulation. The additional cost and time required to manufacture the 3D printed models represent the limitations which need to be addressed in future studies.

“…Prior studies report that 3D models enhance visuospatial learning, understanding, and recognition of anatomic structures in a manner superior to conventional methods of textbook and computer‐based learning . 3D models also hold the potential for increased quality assurance and individualized health care in cardiology through simulations and presurgical planning .…”

“…Segmentation of the cardiac and vascular anatomy of interest was previously performed using Philips IntelliSpace Portal (Philips Healthcare, Best, The Netherlands), and stereolithography files were generated from these segments. Models were cleaned and prepared for printing using Autodesk MeshMixer (Autodesk, Inc, San Rafael, California) and printed with poly‐lactic acid (PLA) on a Dremel 3D Idea Builder (Dremel, Mount Prospect, Illinois) …”

“…Given the complex nature of congenital heart defects (CHD), 3D printing has been increasingly used in this field for anatomic modeling and procedural planning . We have previously reported the utility of 3D printed models in modeling vascular rings and pulmonary slings for resident education . The purpose of the present study was to explore the utility of 3D models of CHD in resident education for simple and complex intracardiac lesions, ventricular septal defects (VSD), and tetralogy of Fallot (ToF).…”

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.

Use of 3D models of vascular rings and slings to improve resident education

Abstract: This study demonstrated a measurable gain in knowledge about vascular rings and pulmonary artery slings with the addition of 3D printed models of the defects. Future applications of this teaching modality could extend to other congenital cardiac lesions and different learners.
