A Study to Evaluate the Impact of Pre-Procedural Planning with 3D Printed Cardiac Models for Ventricular Assist Device Placement in Patients with Congenital Heart Disease

Overview

About this study

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.
