TL;DR: 3D models are accurate replicas of the cardiovascular anatomy and improve the understanding of complex CHD and help redefining the surgical approach.

TL;DR: 3D printed models accurately replicate patients' anatomy and are helpful in planning endovascular stenting in transverse arch hypoplasia and opens a door for potential simulation applications of 3D models in the field of catheterization and cardiovascular interventions.

TL;DR: Cardiovascular models constructed by rapid prototyping techniques are extremely helpful for planning corrective surgery in patients with complex congenital malformations and may potentially reduce operative time and morbi-mortality.

TL;DR: Compression, by means of the JPEG algorithm, of up to 50 times the original size of 38 digital images of burns suffered by 22 consecutive patients did not lessen its great usefulness in determining the depth of burn injuries, according to a group of experts in burn care.

TL;DR: Computed tomographic angiography–guided VirSSPA three-dimensional reconstruction in the assessment of perforator flaps was proved to be safe and reliable and found to be a protective factor against developing any kind of complication after DIEP flap surgery.
