Teaching congenital cardiopathies through 3D printed models, is it always useful?

ConclusionsLearning of complex CHD is challenging even with the most advanced educational techniques. Visual access to all the defects presented by the 3D model is necessary for correct understanding of the model. Transparent printing materials allow for the students to simulate the flow trajects with probes. In our experience, virtual 3D models can be a great resource and even more when analysed on virtual reality devices.
