14-month old boy was diagnosed with four congenital heart defects. He was admitted into the children's hospital where doctors knew immediately that the boy would need surgery. Surgeons realized that creating a 3D model of the boy's heart would help study the defects and save the boy's life. Doctor called an engineering department which created a 3D model made from a polymer. The model helped doctors study the defects and come up with solutions before the critical surgery and boy's heart was repaired by the surery in what is the first use of 3-D printing for treating a pediatric heart patient.
