    MRI-based training models for left atrial appendage closure enhance procedural planning and interventionalist training.

  • 2

    Patient-specific 3D printed models improve device sizing and puncture site selection, reducing the need for multiple procedures.

  • 3

    The training model incorporates various puncture sites and interchangeable LAA shapes to simulate real procedural challenges.

  • 4

    MRI data allows accurate segmentation of cardiac structures, facilitating the creation of anatomically relevant training models.

  • 5

    The model's design includes features for easy replication across medical facilities, promoting widespread training opportunities.
