Summary
This study tested whether using a 3D-printed model of a patient's heart helps doctors perform a procedure to prevent strokes in people with atrial fibrillation. About 184 adults with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who were at high risk for stroke and couldn't take blood thinners took part. Doctors used either standard imaging or a custom 3D-printed model to plan the procedure, aiming to see if the model led to better sealing of the heart's left atrial appendage.
