Abstract

Cutting-edge 3-dimensional technologies like 3-dimensional printing and extended reality visualization provide novel, immersive ways to understand and interact with volumetric medical imaging data for preprocedural planning. We present a case that illustrates the utility of these techniques in a patient requiring a complex transcatheter intervention.

Keywords: 3-dimensional imaging; 3-dimensional printing; congenital heart defect.
