Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) can have some fatal complications during and after the operation. Until recently, pre-procedural imaging with cardiac computed tomography (CT), which is required to evaluate for TAVR, had its own imperfections. We aimed to determine whether 3D printed models can predict complications when other pre-procedural imaging techniques failed.
