Heart diseases remain the top threat to human health, and the treatment of heart diseases changes with each passing day. Convincing evidence shows that three-dimensional (3D) printing allows for a more precise understanding of the complex anatomy associated with various heart diseases. In addition, 3D-printed models of cardiac diseases may serve as effective educational tools and for hands-on simulation of surgical interventions. We introduce examples of the clinical applications of different types of 3D printing based on specific cases and clinical application scenarios of 3D printing in treating heart diseases. We also discuss the limitations and clinically unmet needs of 3D printing in this context.
心脏病仍然是对人类健康的首要威胁,而且心脏病的治疗日新月异。确凿的证据表明,三维(3D)打印有助于更精确地了解与各种心脏病相关的复杂解剖结构。此外,心脏病的3D打印模型可作为有效的教育工具,并用于手术干预的实际模拟。我们根据具体病例以及3D打印在治疗心脏病中的临床应用场景,介绍不同类型3D打印的临床应用实例。我们还将讨论在此背景下3D打印的局限性和临床上未满足的需求。
