Collaborating Across the Country: 3D-Printing in Cardiothoracic Surgery

Normal aorta being segmented with ITK-SNAP.

We’re excited to share a new collaborative publication in Cureus: Three-Dimensional Printing in Cardiothoracic Surgery: Workflow and Clinical Applications.

This paper by Dr Charles Jenkinson in Perth and supported by our team, outlines a streamlined workflow for implementing 3D printing in cardiothoracic surgery. It highlights practical clinical applications from aortic pathology to congenital heart disease, where patient-specific models can enhance surgical planning, simulation, and team communication.

EJVES: Flexible 3D Printed Templates for Treating Aortic Aneurysms

A template for physician modified FEVAR, 3d printed in flexible resin (Visijet CE-NT, 3d Systems).

It’s 2021 and Happy New Year 🎉 to all of our friends around the globe! We kick off the year with another publication — this time in the European Journal of Vascular Surgery.

We’ve been beavering away making 3D Printed Flexible aortic models for the design and preparation of physician-modified fenestrated endovascular aortic stent-grafts.

Read all about the great work of Dr Jasamine Coles-Black, Prof Tracie Barber, and A/Prof Jason Chuen in this collaborative project between Austin Health, The University of Melbourne and the University of New South Wales!

3dMedLab on Seven News

In the lead-up to our presentations at the RACS Annual Scientific Congress #RACS18 we were interviewed by Georgia Main and Hope Wilson from Seven News Melbourne about our work in pre-surgical 3D printing. Our papers identified how medical 3D printing improves patient and carer understanding of their disease, leads to better satisfaction and engagement in medical care, assist surgeons to train for and plan complex surgery, and improve outcomes by reducing operating time, and blood loss.
