A different and simple 3D planning process for stenting a ductus in a patient with truncus arteriosus

Three-dimensional (3D) modeling is very useful and effective for surgical management, but it is also an expensive method. After 3D cardiac modeling was completed for our patient, a successful ductal stent intervention was performed. In this case report, a new 3D approach was used to improve the success of ductal stent intervention on a neonate with truncus arteriosus. Our aim is to show that 3D modeling can aid in medical follow-up, angiographic, and/or surgical intervention decisions in congenital heart disease patients with difficult congenital heart disease.
