Three-dimensional (3D) printed models are widely accepted for use in training of various surgical procedures congenital heart disease; however, their physical properties have been considered suboptimum procedures. We created silicone molded produced using a novel "parting and assembly" strategy compared suitability hands-on with that conventional 3D models.Computed tomography imaging data from 2 patients transposition the great arteries were used. The was divided into multiple parts (atria,...
This case report describes a rare instance of left-sided congenital pericardial agenesis (CPA) encountered during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in 77-year-old male. In this unique case, the presence an unusual strip left pericardium containing phrenic nerve posed significant surgical challenges. Special attention was required for graft lay, ensuring adequate filling heart assessment before closure, as well emphasis on need generous length. Additionally, evaluation positioning prior...
The structure of the valve leaflets and sinuses are crucial in supporting proper function semilunar ensuring leaflet durability. Therefore, an enhanced understanding structural characteristics valves is fundamental to evaluation staging pathology, as well development prosthetic or bioprosthetic valves. This paper illustrates process combining computer-aided design (CAD), 3D printing flow assessment with 4-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide detailed hemodynamic normal...
Central MessageThree-dimensionally printed models can be used successfully in the preoperative decision making for patients with complex congenital heart defects.See Commentaries on pages 139, 141, and 143. Three-dimensionally defects. See Raghib syndrome, also known as coronary sinus defect persistent left superior vena cava (LSVC), consists of complete unroofing partial wall between atrium presence LSVC.1Raghib G. Ruttenberg H.D.

Over the last decade medical students' interest in pursuing surgery as a career has declined. This is more apparent high-specialized specialities such congenital heart (CHS). Early hands-on simulation shown to have positive impact on surgery, however, its incorporation into school curricula lacking. study aimed evaluate of incorporating students surgical assistants during Hands On Surgical Training course CHS. Local preclinical were invited participate 5th annual Among those who responded...
Bullet embolism to the heart is a rare complication of gunshot trauma body and if not identified can have severe impact on patient's morbidity mortality. This paper presents case patient who sustained shotgun wound leg 10 years prior presenting with shortness breath localised chest pain. Routine radiograph for possible infection was reported normal apart from small metallic artefact overlying left side heart, which had same appearance as pellets in leg. Following referral our cardiothoracic...
Across Europe there are significant variations in the fundamental structure and content of cardiothoracic surgery (CTS) training programmes. Previous efforts have been made to introduce a Unified European Training System, which outlined fundamentals ideal programme supported paradigm shift from an apprenticeship competency-based model. This article's goal was define key structural, administrative executive details such lay foundations for standardization surgical across Europe.The...
The hands-on surgical training course utilizes 3-dimensional (3D)-printed heart models to simulate complex congenital operations. This study aimed validate a model and assessment tool in the simulation of 2 techniques Norwood operation investigate whether technical performance improves following rehearsal with or without proctor presence.
Abstract There are a number of techniques used in the surgical treatment supravalvular aortic stenosis with excellent results; however, junior surgeons’ experience may be limited due to its rare nature. Simulation 3D-printed models provides safe platform for surgeons rehearse prior patient application but must replicate all features anatomy. Here, we describe how software manipulation can accurately reproduce anatomy and train 2 different techniques.
Previous studies suggest that laparosopic pyloromyotomy may have some benefits over an open approach. We examined our results during a transition period from to laparoscopic see whether these are sustained the learning curve.This is retrospective case note review of all patients undergoing at tertiary institution for 5-year (2010-2015). Data presented as median (range). Statistical analysis was performed with Fisher's exact and Student's t-test.A total 185 pyloromyotomies were performed,...
Abstract Background The Hands-On Surgical Training in Congenital Heart Surgery (HOST-CHS) program using 3D printed heart models has received positive feedback from attendees. However, improvements were necessary the simulator set up to replicate ergonomics experienced operating room. This paper illustrates development of a dynamic chest wall and table enhance simulation experience. Methods was designed address limitations with existing up. included suboptimal position, unrealistic surgical...
An intramural coronary artery in the setting of truncus arteriosus (common arterial trunk) is an uncommon association. Following uneventful surgical repair, a neonate developed low cardiac output state deteriorating into arrest shortly after arrival intensive care unit, requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. Echocardiography and angiography showed occlusion left artery, prompting emergency reexploration. A “slit-like” orifice with was successfully unroofed, allowing full...
