Evaluation of 3D printing technology before transcatheter aortic valve replacement surgery / 中国胸心血管外科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

@#Aortic valve disease is one of the major diseases threatening human health. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a new treatment for aortic disease. Preoperative evaluation is of great significance to the successful operation and the long-term quality of life of patients. The 3D printing technology can fully simulate the cardiac anatomy of patients, create personalized molds for patients, improve surgical efficiency, reduce surgical time and surgical trauma, and thus achieve better surgical results. In this review, the relevant literatures were searched, and the evaluation effect of 3D printing technology on the operation of TAVR was reviewed, so as to provide clinical reference.
