Researchers have developed a 3D-printed heart model that mimics the movements of the left side of the human heart. The model includes the atrium, ventricle and mitral valve, allowing surgeons to practise realistic, patient-specific procedures and improve surgical planning

Researchers have 3D-printed a heart model that mimics the complex movements of the left side of the heart. This model includes atrium, ventricle, and mitral valve, offering surgeons a realistic platform to practice patient-specific presurgical simulations.
To enhance structural realism, sutures connect the ventricle to the mitral valve, imitating “heartstrings”, enabling the model to act like real tissue during practice procedures.
