3D-Printed hearts aim to make risky stroke procedure safer
NCT ID NCT07483008
Summary
This study tested whether using a 3D-printed, patient-specific model of a heart chamber helps doctors better plan a procedure to prevent strokes in people with a common heart rhythm problem (atrial fibrillation). The procedure blocks off a small pouch in the heart where blood clots often form. Researchers compared planning with the 3D model against planning with standard medical scans alone to see if it led to more successful and safer procedures for 184 participants.
