Three-dimensional printing in surgical planning: A case of aortopulmonary window with interrupted aortic arch

Ann Pediatr Cardiol. 2018 May-Aug;11(2):201-203. doi: 10.4103/apc.APC_127_17.

Abstract

Better anatomical understanding and conceptualization of complex congenital heart defects using three-dimensional (3D) printing may improve surgical planning, especially in rare defects. In this report, we utilized 3D printing to delineate the exact cardiac anatomy of a neonate with an aortopulmonary window associated with interrupted aortic arch to devise a novel approach to the repair.

Keywords: Aortopulmonary window; interrupted aortic arch; three-dimensional printing.
