Additive manufacturing (AM) has increasing applications in medicine in recent times. This technology has emerged in cardiovascular medicine as an intelligent system for the improvement of medical devices, the preparation of patient-specific models, and the prototyping of grafts. This review traces the research and development in the production of surgical guides and synthetic grafts for cardiac and vascular applications over the last few years. It also traces the recent widespread use of 3D-printed specific-patient models for cardiovascular surgical interventions. A current view of AM strategies, materials and solutions to improve cardiovascular patient outcomes is also provided.
