Adult Congenital Heart Disease

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Rapid Prototyping in Cardiac Disease

Abstract

Advances in medical and surgical care over the past few decades have dramatically improved the survival rate of the adult patients with congenital heart disease (ACHD). This population presents unique challenges for clinical management, often made difficult by limitations of standard 2-dimensional imaging techniques. Cardiac 3D printing is a powerful imaging application that offers several advantages to patient care in the ACHD population. 3D models enable in-depth understanding of complex anatomy, precise pre-surgical planning, and are useful tools for patient counseling, trainee education, and simulation. In the ACHD population, these distinct advantages add value to conventional imaging techniques and offer promise for improving clinical outcomes for a complex and growing population.
