Surgeons and engineers are revolutionizing pediatric cardiac surgery

Check out our Paid Post video with The New York Times showing how our cardiac surgeons and engineers collaborate on 3D models that are helping drive the future of heart surgery — before a patient even enters the operating room. 

Watch how our team is helping transform heart surgery.

The telltale heart

Cardiac surgeon and co-director of the CardioEngineering Lab Dr. David Hoganson was featured in The Washington Post about the integration of advanced digital technologies into surgery planning.

From aerospace to the OR: 3D modeling improves surgical planning by revealing details of patients’ hearts

One of the most important tools for complex heart surgeries at Boston Children’s isn’t even in the operating room.

“Seeing” the unseen: A way to pinpoint elusive cardiac conduction tissue

When patients with congenital heart issues have an operation, surgeons have to proceed with an “eye of faith” as they work around conduction tissue — a network of cells and electrical signals that control the beating of a heart.

Cardiac Conversations: Personalized aortic valve care for adults

Boston Children’s Congenital Heart Valve Program provides the individualized care that adults need by understanding how the extent of their aortic valve disease and overall health should shape treatment. In this webinar, learn how the team uses 3D modeling and analysis tools to create personalized surgical plans for each adult patient.

Cardiac Conversations: Repairing versus replacing heart valves 

Children and adults benefit when their heart valves can be repaired instead of replaced, but no two valves are the same. In this webinar, specialists from the Congenital Heart Valve Program discuss how 3D modeling, experience, and collaboration helps them understand a patient’s heart anatomy and decide which type of valve treatment is needed.
