Abstract: 3D visualization technology is the process of transforming two-dimensional image data into three-dimensional model with the help of computer software. 3D printing technology is the process of building organ solid model through 3D printing mechanism on the basis of 3D visualization. With the development of interventional technology for structural heart disease, 3D visualization and 3D printing technology have played a positive role in the understanding of cardiac anatomy and the formulation of personalized surgical plans. This paper will discuss the construction of 3D visualization model, review and analyze the application of 3D printing technology in interventional therapy of structural heart disease in recent years, discuss the future development in this field, and briefly analyze its existing problems.
