In the study of TAVR, 3-dimensional (3D) printed aortic root models and pulsatile simulators
were used for simulation training and teaching before procedures. The study was carried out …

Background Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) is currently offered at selected centers
that meet certain operator and institutional requirements. We sought to explore the …
