The authors report on their experience with three-demensional (3D) printed heart models in congenital cardiac surgery, having printed 20 3D models for preoperative simulation within the last three years. All operations were performed by a young consultant surgeon. The authors concluded that 3D printing helped them to understand the pathology and simulate the surgical approach.
