In presence of complex cardiac and extra-cardiac anatomies, the creation of a physical, patient-specific model is useful to better understand the anatomical spatial relationships and formulate the best surgical or interventional plan. Although many case reports and small series have been published over this topic, at the present time, there is still a lack of strong scientific evidence of the benefit of 3D models and advance engineering tools, including virtual and augmented reality, in clinical practice and only qualitative evaluation of the models has been used to investigate their clinical use. Patient-specific 3D models can be printed in many different materials including rigid, flexible and transparent materials, depending on their application. To plan interventional procedure, transparent materials may be preferred in order to better evaluate the device or stent landing zone. 3D models can also be used as an input for augmented and virtual reality application and advance fluido-dynamic simulation, which aim to support the interventional cardiologist before entering the cath lab. The aim of this chapter is to present an overview on how 3D printing, extended reality platforms and the most common computational engineering methodologies"finite element and computational fluid dynamics"are currently used to support percutaneous procedures in congenital heart disease (CHD), with examples from the scientific literature. date: 2021-07-23 date_type: published publisher: Springer International Publishing official_url: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-69856-0_62 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2028050 doi: 10.1007/978-3-030-69856-0_62 isbn_13: 978-3-030-69855-3 lyricists_name: Schievano, Silvia lyricists_name: Popa, Teodora lyricists_id: SSCHI22 lyricists_id: TPOPA37 actors_name: Popa, Teodora actors_id: TPOPA37 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public place_of_pub: Cham, Switzerland pagerange: 1067-1081 book_title: Cardiac Catheterization for Congenital Heart Disease: From Fetal Life to Adulthood, Second Edition citation: Milano, EG; Popa, T; Iacob, AM; Schievano, S; (2021) 3D Printing and Engineering Tools Relevant to Plan a Transcatheter Procedure.
