3D PRINTED MODELING OF RIGHT VENTRICLE AND TRICUSPID VALVE FROM CT IMAGES FOR STRUCTURAL HEART INTERVENTIONS

Percutaneous treatment of tricuspid regurgitation using devices such as the MitraClip (Abbott) remains technically challenging. We sought to 3D print patient-specific right ventricle (RV) and tricuspid valve (TV) geometry, reconstructed from CT images, to assess the potential utility of such models
