Application of 3D printing in the preoperative evaluation of transcatheter aortic valve replacement for patients at risk of coronary artery obstruction:two case reports
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR)is currently one of the main therapeutic strategies for aortic valve disease.Preoperative imaging assessment is crucial for operation project planning and prevention of procedure-associated complications.Different from planar image reconstruction,3D printing technology can accurately depict the anatomical structure of the aortic root.It enables further assessment of operative risk and therapeutic strategy through in vitro simulation,especially for assessing the risk of coronary artery obstruction and planning interventional procedures.Here,we report on two patients who underwent a 3D printing aortic root anatomical simulation model,followed an by in vitro balloon dilatation/valve implantation test,to evaluate the risk of coronary artery obstruction suggested by CT angiography planar image reconstruction before TAVR.
