n this review, we aimed to explore the options, challenges, and possibilities of the 3D printing in the field of cardiac valve replacement in order to give an insight into the current state of the art and development in this specific area of 3D printing. The low number of papers found on this topic demonstrates its experimental nature. However, the published papers do show the progress made in the past years allowing for clinical application. This clinical application is currently mainly in training and education, but the literature is promising for actual patient-specific clinical applications.
Thanks for posting sewell. It' a bit above my limited understanding but from what I can garner the technology is not yet used for human transplants. As the report states it is currently used in training and education and one of the issues is the material used in the process.
