Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the special issue “3D Printing in Heart and Cardiovascular Disease”.
Three-dimensional (3D) printing has undergone rapid developments over the last decade with increasing reports in medical applications. Use of patient-specific 3D printed models has shown great value and potential in cardiovascular disease with studies documenting the clinical usefulness in assisting preoperative planning and simulation of complex cardiac surgery procedures, improving our understanding of spatial relationship between complex cardiac anatomical structures and pathologies, enhancing doctor-patient communication and medical education. This special issue aims to create a platform for researchers from different disciplines to share their recent research outputs on 3D printing in heart and cardiovascular disease.
Potential topics include, but not limited to:
• Recent development of 3D printing technologies and printing materials in cardiovascular disease
• 3D printing in heart disease, specifically in congenital heart disease
• 3D printing in cardiovascular disease including surgical planning and treatment
• 3D printing in medical education
• 3D printing in investigation of cardiac CT imaging protocols
• 3D printing in tissue engineering and bioprinting
Authors are encouraged to discuss with the guest editors to determine the suitability of their intended manuscripts. Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal’s Author guidelines, which are available at Author Instructions via: https://rcm.imrpress.com/EN/column/column172.shtml
We look forward to receiving your excellent work.
Thank you very much!
