When you think about heart surgery, it’s natural to imagine a high-stakes operating room filled with surgeons, machines, and precision tools. But what if the next big breakthrough doesn’t come from the operating table, but from a 3D printer? Welcome to the future of cardiothoracic surgery—where innovation is redefining how we heal hearts and lungs. The Rise of 3D Printing in Surgery Let’s start with one of the most talked-about advancements—3D printing. In recent years, 3D printing has moved beyond creating prototypes and entered the world of life-saving applications. Today, surgeons can print customized models of a patient’s heart or lungs, allowing them to plan and practice surgeries with a precision that was unthinkable just a decade ago. These 3D-printed organs aren't just for practice. We’re now seeing the potential for bioprinted tissue and scaffolds that could one day replace damaged parts of the body. It’s no wonder that innovations like these have caught the attention of g...
