Now, scientists are turning to new tools, including computer simulation and 3D ... balloon angioplasty (blocked arteries are reopened by pushing obstructions out of the way) and even heart valve ...

Based on the shape of the scarring, they’d then 3D print a custom heart ... like a rugby ball to a big balloon or basketball.” We can put the patch on the heart with our surgical tools but ...

They've developed a new way to 3D print material that is at once elastic enough to withstand a heart's persistent beating, tough enough to endure the crushing load placed on joints, and easily ...

which the researchers can then 3D print using a polymer-based ink. The result is a soft, flexible shell in the exact shape of the patient's own heart. The team can also use this approach to print ...

This study is the first to examine the genetic basis of both right and left ventricles, using advanced 3D imaging and machine learning, which allowed researchers to analyze the heart's shape in a ...
