Abstract

Outcomes for advance heart failure have improved more with the development of mechanical circulatory support devices and improved transplantation techniques. 3D modeling has been instrumental in the sizing of large devices, expanding the treatment pool to smaller adults and children. In addition, 3D computational modeling techniques have aided in the design of smaller devices, enabling placement in smaller spaces and/or in patients with complex congenital heart disease. Virtual implantation of devices has extended into virtual heart transplantation with the hopes of expanding the donor pool and minimizing waitlist mortality.
