NCT03891160

Brief Summary

The purpose of this research study is to look at the advantages of using a 3D printed heart model for surgical planning in children who have been diagnosed with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) and clinical heart failure and will undergo a ventricular assist device (VAD) placement. The investigators want to study the correlation of having a 3D printed model with improvement in patient outcomes and compare those with patients who have had a VAD placement without a 3D model.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • A change in the clarity of cannula and VAD site demonstration

    Change in survey responses regarding clarity of VAD or cannula site placement.

    30 day

  • Improvement in cardiopulmonary bypass time

    Detecting a change in cardiopulmonary bypass time in patients in the group that used the 3D models for pre-VAD planning.

    5 year

Study Arms (2)

Group A - 3D models

EXPERIMENTAL

Group A will receive 3-D printed models will be used for pre-VAD planning. For patients in Group A, the surgeon will complete a questionnaire 1) after reviewing 2D imaging data and 2) after reviewing a patient specific 3D model. The investigators primary outcome measure will be an improvement in the clarity of cannula and VAD site demonstration. The investigators hypothesize that the 3D models will more clearly demonstrate the sites of cannula and VAD placement as compared to 2D imaging.

Other: 3D model of heart

Group B - Control

NO INTERVENTION

Group B will be the controls and will not receive a 3D model.

Interventions

To assess if a 3D printed cardiac model improves visualization of VAD and cannula placement sites in CHD-HF patients as compared to 2D imaging. The investigators will prospectively enroll CHD-HF patients at multiple centers and randomize to group A (3D printed models will be used for pre-VAD planning) or Group B (controls).

Group A - 3D models

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients who weigh over 3 kilograms with CHD HF who are candidates for MCS will be prospectively identified at the participating centers.

You may not qualify if:

  • Any CHD-HF patient unable to tolerate a CMR or cardiac CT will be excluded.
