Three-Dimensional Virtual and Printed Prototypes in Complex Congenital and Pediatric Cardiac Surgery—A Multidisciplinary Team-Learning Experience

Three-dimensional (3D) virtual modeling and printing advances individualized medicine and surgery. In congenital cardiac surgery, 3D virtual models and printed prototypes offer advantages of better understanding of complex anatomy, hands-on preoperative surgical planning and emulation, and improved...

In congenital cardiac surgery, 3D virtual models and printed prototypes offer advantages of better understanding of complex anatomy, hands-on preoperative surgical planning and emulation, and improved communication within the multidisciplinary team and to patients. We report our single center team-learning experience about the realization and validation of possible clinical benefits of 3D-printed models in surgical planning of complex congenital cardiac surgery. CT-angiography raw data were segmented into 3D-virtual models of the heart-great vessels. Prototypes were 3D-printed as rigid “blood-volume” and flexible “hollow”.

We produced 3D prototypes of the heart-great vessels for 15 case scenarios (nine males, median age: 11 months) undergoing complex intracardiac repairs. Parity between 3D models and intraoperative structures was within 1 mm range. Models refined diagnostics in 13/15, provided new anatomic information in 9/15. As a team-learning experience, all complex staged redo-operations (13/15; Aristotle-score mean: 10.64 ± 1.95) were rehearsed on the 3D models preoperatively. 3D-printed prototypes significantly contributed to an improved/alternative operative plan on the surgical approach, modification of intracardiac repair in 13/15. No operative morbidity/mortality occurred. Our clinical/research partnership provided coverage for the extra time/labor and material/machinery not financed by insurance. 3D-printed models provided a team-learning experience and contributed to the safety of complex congenital cardiac surgeries.
