- Abstract:
- Two patients with bicuspid aortic valve were selected for aortic valve repair using the Ozaki procedure. Patient-specific models of their aortic roots were generated based on computed tomography data and were 3-dimensional printed using a flexible resin. The models allowed sizing of the valve leaflets and practicing of leaflet suturing. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
