“…3D-printed cardiac models generated from the medical images of real patients are likely to reduce misinterpretations of pathological structures. Costello et al [21,22] printed various VSD models to teach 52 medical students and found a significant improvement in structural conceptualization. 3D-printed cardiac models improve the spatial orientation of medical students [23].…”

“…This is particularly true in congenital heart disease, where a wide spectrum of severity is observed within each type of cardiac defect. This wide spectrum of severity makes learning about these lesions complex to trainees, and it is encouraging that evidence suggests 3D models aid in learning about congenital heart defects and their clinical sequelae for trainees of various levels [28,29]. Complex anatomical concepts in congenital heart disease such as malalignment-type ventricular septal defects, double-outlet right ventricle, and the spectrum of heterotaxy syndromes can be demonstrated in a hands-on, interactive environment.…”

Congenital heart disease affects 1-2 % of the world's population and is the leading cause of mortality among infants in the US. The diagnosis and management of congenital heart disease are largely driven by review of two-dimensional (2D) images derived from echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance, and cardiac computed tomography. However, congenital heart disease is a threedimensional (3D) problem, and 2D display methods often lack critical spatial information. Cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons rely on mental conversion of 2D data into a 3D understanding of the spatial relationships of intracardiac structures. Over the last 10 years, significant advances in 3D printing technology have made it possible to create life-like, printed models of any part of the human anatomy, including congenital heart defects. These printed models, placed in an operator's hands, have the potential to assist in communication of the size, location, and degree of defect and aid in procedural planning. The use of 3D models has the potential to decrease operative procedure times, decrease radiation exposure in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, and overall sedation and anesthetic requirement. In addition, they have considerable educational value wherein defects can be examined from every angle, and the complex 3D relationships of cardiac structures can be displayed in three dimensions and held in the hand.

“…nurses or students); the use of 3D-printed models for training has been used in other areas of medicine [34] and also, in CHD, in a study that focused on the appreciation of ventricular septal defects in a cohort of medical students [35] suggesting the beneficial use of 3D models for better appreciation of the defect.…”

This chapter presents the experience of the cardiac engineering team within the Centre for Cardiovascular Imaging at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (London, UK) in using three-dimensional (3D) printing technology. 3D models can serve different functions towards implementing a patient-specific approach for studying and potentially treating congenital heart disease (CHD). In order to showcase different potential applications, this chapter discusses not only clinical case studies and engineering experiments but also the potential for translation through patients and public involvement and engagement (PPI/E).
