Purpose : The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and effects of education on complex congenital heart diseases (CHD) using patient-specific three-dimensional (3D) printed heart models.

Methods : 3D printed heart models were created using computed tomography data obtained from 11 patients with complex CHD. Fourteen kinds of heart models, encompassing 9 kinds of complex CHD were printed. A total of 44 replicas were printed and the average cost per replica was 503,150 KRW. Using these models, a series of educational hands-on seminars, led by an experienced pediatric cardiac surgeon and a pediatric cardiologist, were conducted for medical personnel who were involved in the care of CHD patients. Contents of the seminars included anatomy, 3D structure, pathophysiology, and surgery for each diagnosis. Likert-type (10-point scale) questionnaires were used before and after each seminar to evaluate the effects of education.

Results : Between November 2019 and June 2020, a total of 16 sessions of hands-on seminar were conducted. The total number of questionnaire responses was 75. Overall, participants reported subjective improvement in understanding anatomy (4.8±2.1 vs. 8.4±1.1; p<0.001), 3D structure (4.6±2.2 vs. 8.9±1.0; p<0.001), pathophysiology (4.8±2.2 vs. 8.5±1.0; p<0.001), and surgery (4.9±2.3 vs. 8.8±0.9; p<0.001) of the CHD investigated. Overall satisfaction about the 3D printed heart models was excellent (median, 10; interquartile range, 9-10).

Conclusion : The utilization of 3D printed heart models for education on complex CHD was feasible and improved medical personnel's understanding of complex CHD. This education tool may be an effective alternative to conventional education tools for complex CHD.
