Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is a problem with the heart's structure present at birth. Some children with CHD also have Heart Failure (HF), where the heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should. This study looks at using 3D printed heart models for kids needing a Ventricular Assist Device (VAD), a machine that helps the heart pump blood. The study will see if using these models helps doctors plan surgeries better, leading to better outcomes for patients. A VAD is important for kids with CHD and HF because it can help them live longer. The study will compare those who use the 3D model to those who don't, to see which group does better.
- Study involves kids over 3 kg with CHD and HF.
- Some kids won't be part of the study if they can't have certain heart scans.
- Study takes place at multiple centers and involves comparing two groups.
