Researchers have developed a groundbreaking process for multi-material 3D printing of lifelike models of the heart's aortic valve and the surrounding structures that mimic the exact look and feel of a ...

New study examines the effectiveness of 3D printing technology to help confirm and detect the location of a paravalvular leak (PVL) in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) ...

Long-term, the dream of 3D-printed objects is to use additive manufacturing to be able to bioprint entire functional organs for use in transplant surgeries. While we are not at that point just yet, ...

Heart valve models created with advanced 3-D printers could soon assist cardiologists in preparing to perform life-saving heart valve replacements. Heart valve models created with advanced 3-D ...

More than one in eight people aged 75 and older in the United States develop moderate-to-severe blockage of the aortic valve in their hearts, usually caused by calcified deposits that build up on the ...

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 ...

Washington State University researchers have built a 3D-printed model of the left side of the heart that contracts and relaxes to simulate a real heartbeat, complete with embedded sensors and ...

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Balloon rupture during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a rare but serious complication.
