Desenvolvimento de Modelos de Cardiopatias Congênitas em Impressão 3D utilizando Metodologia de Baixo Custo – Uma Potencial Ferramenta para Aprimorar o Ensino da Cardiologia Pediátrica

Key Points

• Models of congenital heart disease were successfully developed using low-cost 3D printing techniques, improving educational outcomes in pediatrics.
• The workflow utilized cardiac tomography images to create physical prototypes, making complex anatomy more accessible for learning.
• Assessment of the 3D printing process showed significant promise and cost-effectiveness, enhancing the hands-on approach in medical education.
• This approach may enable broader access to cardiology resources, though further validation in diverse educational settings is necessary.
