At 3 weeks old, Samantha underwent the first of four surgeries for congenital single-ventricle heart disease. She had been diagnosed before birth with the rare birth defect that left only half of her ...
MIT engineers are 3D printing replicas of patients’ hearts in an attempt to improve replacement valve procedures for those living with heart disease. Scientists are creating custom robotic hearts that ...
Engineers developed a procedure to 3D print a soft and flexible replica of a patient's heart. These models could help doctors tailor treatments, such as aortic valves, to an individual patient. No two ...
