Scientists are developing custom 3D-printed replicas of human hearts - in an effort to improve life-saving technology fitted in thousands of patients each year. The models mimic blood flow and ...

Laza's software constructs a patient-specific, 3D heart model in real time using ultrasound data alone. Validating this guidance software is a key step towards first-in-human testing of Laza's ...

A teenage girl has undergone delicate an innovative heart surgery at a Brisbane hospital — and the op was just in the nick of time. Monica Tolic, 17, was born with a rare genetic condition known as ...

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 ...

Chinese gastrointestinal surgeon Zhou Shuyang has caught public attention again as his team restored a beating heart through 3D modeling. The initial form of this beating heart was a set of CT scans.

Miniature-sized heart chambers called ventricles have been 3D printed with live human heart muscle cells and shown to beat on their own for at least three months. Artificial heart tissue can be made ...

Developed at RCSI, the new ‘mock circulatory loop’ model can mimic both a healthy heart and a heart in failure to help device testing. Researchers in Ireland have reached a “milestone” in heart health ...
