“…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.…”

“…Only 6 studies reported on the dimensional accuracy of the models . Overall, good to excellent correlation in measurements was found between the 3D printed heart models and original medical images or intra‐operative surgical measurements, indicating that 3D printed models have high accuracy in replicating complex cardiac anatomical structures and pathologies (Table ).…”

“…According to this review, patient‐specific 3D printed models are able to accurately replicate both normal cardiac anatomy and CHD and therefore will be safe as a new medium for medical usage (Fig ). However, based on this review, it is found out that the accuracy of the 3D printed heart models is only reported in a few studies, with only 6 out of 28 studies carried out quantitative analysis on the 3D printed heart models . In these 6 studies, only 99 printed heart models in total were analysed with the largest number (40%) from the multicentre study .…”

“…Overall, analysis of these studies shows that 3D printed models serve as a useful and effective tool to improve understanding of complex cardiac structures in relation to the CHD and enhance the confidence level of cardiologists in planning cardiac interventions. With graspable models in hand, the 3D printed models have shown great promise in enhancing the perception of distances, dimensions and spatial information of the complex cardiac morphology, and therefore facilitate the decision‐making for treatment plans . The 3D printed models were reported to help the surgeons in deciding best surgical treatment when optimum surgical approach could not be finalised based on traditional diagnostic tools .…”

“…The 3D printed models were reported to help the surgeons in deciding best surgical treatment when optimum surgical approach could not be finalised based on traditional diagnostic tools . In addition, the intra‐operative time was also shortened with an improved surgical outcome . However, few studies pointed out that the 3D printed heart models only complement the current diagnostic tools, and should not be stand‐alone tools for preoperative planning …”

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.

Biomimicking organ phantoms with vivid biological structures and soft and slippery features are essential for in vitro biomedical applications yet remain hither to unmet challenges in their fabrication such as balancing between spatial structural complexity and matchable mechanical properties. Herein, 3D printable tissue-mimicking elastomeric double network hydrogels with tailorable stiffness are evolved to idiosyncratically match diverse biological soft tissues by regulating the compositions of hydrogel matrix and the density of metal coordination bonds. Relying on digital light processing 3D printing, various mechanically tunable biomimetic volumetric hydrogel organ constructs with structural complexity and fidelity, including kidney, brain, heart, liver, stomach, lung, trachea, intestine, and even the intricate vascularized tissues, are fabricated faultlessly. Proof-of-concept 3D printed hydrogel heart and liver phantoms provide sophisticated internal channels and cavity structures and external realistic anatomical architectures that more closely mimic native organs. For the in vitro application demonstration, a 3D printed hydrogel brain phantom with tortuous cerebral arteries and slippery characters serves as an effective neurosurgical training platform for realistic simulation of endovascular interventions. This platform offers a means to construct mechanically precisely tunable hydrogel-based biomimetic organ phantoms that are expected to be used in surgical training, medical device testing, and organs-on-chips.
