What this study is

The purpose of this research study is to look at the advantages of using a 3D printed heart model for surgical planning in children who have been diagnosed with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) and clinical heart failure and will undergo a ventricular assist device (VAD) placement. The investigators want to study the correlation of having a 3D printed model with improvement in patient outcomes and compare those with patients who have had a VAD placement without a 3D model.

What's being tested

  • 3D model of heart

    Intervention · OTHER

    To assess if a 3D printed cardiac model improves visualization of VAD and cannula placement sites in CHD-HF patients as compared to 2D imaging. The investigators will prospectively enroll CHD-HF patients at multiple centers and randomize to group A (3D printed models will be used for pre-VAD planning) or Group B (controls).
