Abstract

Coronary circulation comprises supplying blood to the heart muscles facilitated by coronary arteries. Coronary arteries originating from coronary ostia divide into two major branches: the right and the left main coronary artery. As the blood flows through these arteries, fatty acids and other molecules start depositing on the inner lining of the arteries. These depositions lead to narrowing down of arteries, obstructing the flow, and are termed as Atherosclerosis. Recently, in the domain of cardiovascular medicine, 3D printing has been introduced. We have discussed about the basic technologies of 3D printing and how their use is evolving in cardiovascular science and engineering.
