3D printing used for heart surgery
3D printing is revolutionizing many different types of operations, including heart surgery, allowing for personalized pre-operative surgical planning.
Luke Miller was born with a pulmonary Artesia, a congenital malformation of the pulmonary valve.
By using data from a CAT scan, Phoenix Children’s Hospital used a 3D printer to create a model of Luke’s heart. This allowed doctors to prepare for surgery before the operation. The heart was printed in red, blue, and green, to delineate vessels and chambers. This allowed the team, led by heart surgeon John Nigro, to prepare their surgical strategy before the operation began.
