Tim Noterdaeme, Olivier Gach, Lucien Finianos, Pieter‐Jan Palmers, Giuseppe Colletti, Claudiu Ungureanu
TL;DR
3D-printed models tailored to patients can help plan complex heart procedures when traditional methods aren't effective.
Contribution
The paper highlights how 3D printing can improve percutaneous coronary interventions in challenging cases.
Findings
3D-printed models can enhance planning for complex PCI cases.
Adoption is limited by cost, availability, and time.
Infrastructure and dedicated programs could increase clinical use.
Abstract
Patient‐specific 3D‐printed models could enhance PCI planning, improving feasibility and efficacy in cases where conventional methods fail or coronary anatomy is atypical. Despite their potential, adoption is limited by system availability, equipment costs, and time expenditure. Appropriate infrastructure and dedicated programs could expand and broaden their clinical application.
