Transposition of Great Arteries
Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) with a Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is a complex congenital heart defect where the aorta arises from the right ventricle, and the pulmonary artery arises from the left ventricle, combined with a hole in the wall (septum) separating the two ventricles.
The presence of the VSD allows partial mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, which can somewhat improve oxygenation compared to isolated TGA. However, the mixing is typically insufficient, leading to persistent cyanosis and other complications like heart failure due to the volume overload.
The model is quite complex, it contains 11 structures including the volumes of ventricles, as well as patch for connecting aorta to left ventricle. The size of the structure is up to 22,7 MB and thus they are suitable for smaller printers. However, use of resin printer could be nice to enhance details of structures.
