MINNEAPOLIS -- Paul Iaizzo's Visible Heart Lab at the University of Minnesota hums with activity. Heart monitors, computer readouts, and a bank of 3D printers. Iaizzo's staff aren't racing to print ...

No two hearts beat alike. The size and shape of the the heart can vary from one person to the next. These differences can be particularly pronounced for people living with heart disease, as their ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have created a technique to 3D-print custom, actuated replicas of human hearts to help guide treatment decisions for patients with heart disease and other cardiac afflictions. A team of ...

Researchers have unveiled a new 3D‑printable material that can be stretched, sutured, and implanted, edging artificial organs ...

Engineers can now print three-dimensional replicas of a human heart custom-designed to look and act like an individual patient’s heart. The goal is to provide realistic models so that doctors, ...

Now, Georgia Tech researchers have created a 3D-printed heart valve made of bioresorbable materials and designed to fit an individual patient's unique anatomy. Once implanted, the valves will be ...

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and Emory University have developed a 3D-printed heart valve made of a bioresorbable polymer. Most heart valve implants currently are ...
