An In Vitro Circulatory Loop Model of the Pediatric Right Ventricular Outflow Tract as a Platform for Valve Evaluation

ConclusionThe 3D-printed RVOT anatomical model andin vitro pulmonary circulatory loop developed in this work provide a platform for planning and evaluating surgical interventions in the pediatric population. Measurements of regurgitation, pressure gradient, and coaptation provide a quantitative basis for comparison among different valve designs and positions.
