Pulmonary Atresia (Patent Ductus Arteriosus) - Female, 9 Years
Pricing and Availability Upon Request
Pulmonary atresia, a congenital heart defect in which the pulmonary valve doesn’t form properly, planning for a unifoculization with placement of a systemic pulmonary artery shunt.
Major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) arise from the descending thoracic aorta as vestiges of the primitive pulmonary artery supply. In this disease, some lung segments may have native pulmonary artery supply, only MAPCA supply, or dual supply from MAPCAs and native pulmonary artery branches. Unifoculization connects MAPCAs to build a connection between the heart and the lungs and normalize blood flow.Designed using real patient imaging scans and the latest 3D printing technologies, in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic.

Benefits of 3D Printing
3D-printed anatomy models offer a variety of advantages for surgical planning, patient education and medical research, including:
∙ Greater accuracy and detail than traditional anatomical models. 3D-printed models are created from digital scans of a patient's anatomy, which ensures that they are as close as possible to an exact replica of real human anatomy.
∙ More versatility than traditional anatomical models. 3D-printed models can be customized to meet your specific needs, whether planning a complex surgical procedure, training with real patient data or facilitating personalized patient communication.
