BackgroundUnderstanding complex cardiac anatomy is essential for percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) closure. Conventional multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) are now supported by advanced 3D printing and virtual reality (VR) techniques for three-dimensional visualization of volumetric data sets. This study aimed to investigate their added value for LAA closure procedures.MethodsTen patients scheduled for interventional LAA closure were evaluated with MSCT and TEE. Patient-specific 3D printings and VR models were fabricated based on MSCT data. Ten cardiologists then comparatively assessed LAA anatomy and its procedure relevant surrounding structures with all four imaging modalities and rated their procedural utility on a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire (from 1 = strongly agree to 5 = strongly disagree).ResultsDevice sizing was rated highest in MSCT (MSCT: 1.9 ± 0.8; TEE: 2.6 ± 0.9; 3D printing: 2.5 ± 1.0; VR: 2.5 ± 1.1; p |
