Uso da impressão tridimensional na cirurgia cardiovascular congênita: uma revisão interativa.

Abstract

Congenital heart disease is a macroscopic anomaly of the heart or large intrathoracic vessels that may or may not have significant repercussions for individuals with the condition. In this context, surgeries may be necessary. To assist in these corrections, the use of three-dimensional printing is something that can make surgical surgeries even more effective. The objective of the study was to conduct a bibliographic survey on the use of three-dimensional printing to increase the effectiveness of congenital cardiovascular surgery. This is an integrative literature review carried out in the Virtual Health Library, using the following search formula: Congenital Heart Diseases AND Cardiovascular Surgical Procedures AND Three-Dimensional Printing, in English and Spanish, over the last 5 years. The final sample was presented with 10 articles. It was observed that the use of three-dimensional models in congenital heart surgery can help generate technical expertise for surgeons with less risk to the patient, in addition to helping in planning the surgery and the multidisciplinary team.
