In recent years, three-dimensional (3D) printed models have been incorporated into cardiology because of their potential usefulness in enhancing understanding of congenital heart disease, surgical planning, and simulation of structural percutaneous interventions. This review provides an introduction to 3D printing technology and identifies the elements needed to construct a 3D model: the types of imaging modalities that can be used, their minimum quality requirements, and the kinds of 3D printers available. The review also assesses the usefulness of 3D printed models in medical education, specialist physician training, and patient communication. We also review the most recent applications of 3D models in surgical planning and simulation of percutaneous structural heart interventions. Finally, the current limitations of 3D printing and its future directions are discussed to explore potential new applications in this exciting medical field.
近年来，三维（3D）打印模型已被应用于心脏病学领域，因为它们在增强对先天性心脏病的理解、手术规划以及结构性经皮介入模拟方面具有潜在的实用性。本综述介绍了3D打印技术，并确定构建3D模型所需的要素：可使用的成像模态类型、其最低质量要求以及可用的3D打印机类型。该综述还评估了3D打印模型在医学教育、专科医生培训和患者沟通中的实用性。我们还回顾了3D模型在手术规划和经皮结构性心脏介入模拟中的最新应用。最后，讨论了3D打印目前的局限性及其未来发展方向，以探索这一令人兴奋的医学领域中的潜在新应用。
