3D printing allows the most realistic perception of the surgical anatomy of congenital heart
diseases without the requirement of physical devices such as a computer screen or virtual …

Preoperative planning is critical for success in the surgical suite. Current techniques for
surgical planning are limited; clinicians often rely on prior experience and medical imaging …

Background The superior sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SVASD) is characterized by
deficiency of the common wall between the superior vena cava (SVC) and the right upper …

Background Covered stent correction of sinus venosus ASDs (SVASD) is a relatively new
technique. Challenges include anchoring a sufficiently long stent in a nonstenotic superior …

Background: There is a recent interest in nonsurgical correction of superior sinus venosus
defects. Patient selection is currently based on advanced imaging and printing technologies …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) printing refers to the process by which physical objects are
built by depositing materials in layers based on a specific digital design. It was initially used …

Aims: Superior sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SVASD) is commonly associated with
partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (PAPVD). We aimed to describe the first …

Additive Manufacturing is noted for ease of product customization and short production run
cost-effectiveness. As our global population approaches 8 billion, additive manufacturing …

Purpose of the review Percutaneous closure of sinus venosus atrial septal defects (ASD)
using covered stent implantation is a new and promising minimally invasive technique. New …

Background The superior sinus venosus atrial septal defect is a congenital communication
between the left and right atria. Open surgical approach by patch closure has historically …
