ULATE RETANA, Andrés; SANABRIA MURILLO, María Del Mar; YOUNES, Paula Neily  e  MATA JINESTA, Valeria. Aplicaciones actuales de la impresión cardiaca en 3D. Rev. costarric. cardiol [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.1, pp.28-34. ISSN 1409-4142.

For this review the current applications and uses of three-dimensional printing will be studied in cardiovascular diseases, as well as its limitations and future directions. Regarding the education field, it has had a significant impact on the experience of physicians as well as patients, furthermore considering the ethical benefits with regards to the comparison of the use of cadaveric or animal models. Advantages may also be contemplated when discussing surgical planning, where this technology optimizes the surgical process and provides better results. Moreover, patient specific three- dimensional cardiac printing has been applied in cases of congenital heart abnormalities due to its variability among patients, where these models allow for an individual study in search of optimal treatments in the medium and long term. Finally, bioprinting is studied, which constitutes the most promising field, and has developed around the replacement of cardiac structures, such as valves, investigation on therapeutic effects of drugs and cell placement with regenerative functions. In conclusion, the optimistic and favorable future of this technology can be presumed, alongside its multiple benefits that could contribute to the medical community and to the patients.

Palavras-chave : bioprinting; education; patient-specific models; three-dimensional printing; surgical planning.
