Does three-dimensional printing in vitro simulation facilitate planning of percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation in a patient with a large right ventricular outflow tract?
3D printing technology can be used to simulate and plan complex percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation in patients with large right ventricular outflow tracts who might otherwise be considered ineligible.
Valverde et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot with severe right ventricle dilatation and large right ventricular outflow tract (n=1). Three-dimensional printing in vitro simulation of dual stent patient-specific PPVI was evaluated on Feasibility of dual stent patient-specific PPVI simulation. Three-dimensional printing technology successfully simulated a dual stent patient-specific percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation in a patient with a large right ventricular outflow tract.
