First seen Mar 21, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study tested whether using a 3D-printed model of a patient's heart can help doctors better plan a procedure to close off a small heart pouch (the left atrial appendage) that can cause strokes in people with atrial fibrillation. About 184 adults with atrial fibrillation who were at high risk for stroke and couldn't take blood thinners took part. The goal was to see if the 3D model led to more complete closures and fewer complications compared to standard planning methods.
