It can provide intraluminal fly-through and clipping-plane views which help endovascular assessment of stents, aneurysms, vessel wall irregularities and calcification. The dataset could even be used to generate 3D-printed models of congenital heart disease [2]. Reference Kang SL, Armstrong A, Krings G, Benson L.

Abstract Introduction Management of transvenous leads in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) can be complicated by venous obstructions and residual shunts. We present our experience performing concurrent lead extraction and dilation/stenting of venous pathways, including patients with complete venous obstruction.
