Key Points

Assess the potential of patient-specific 3D-printed models to improve procedural planning in complex percutaneous coronary intervention and examine barriers to clinical adoption.
Evaluated the utility of patient-specific 3D-printed anatomical models for planning percutaneous coronary interventions in cases with atypical anatomy or previous conventional failures.
Identified practical limitations and systemic challenges affecting the routine clinical adoption of 3D-printing technologies.
Patient-specific 3D models enhance procedural feasibility and efficacy during percutaneous coronary interventions when conventional methods prove insufficient.
Widespread clinical integration remains constrained by limited system availability, high equipment costs, and substantial time expenditure.
Dedicated clinical programs and hospital infrastructure are required to broaden access and practical implementation.
