Research

A team of doctors talk about 3D printing. Mayo Clinic team discussion

A team of healthcare professionals talk about research and technology, including 3D printing of models of the heart.

Mayo Clinic cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons and other healthcare professionals study new ways to do heart valve repair and heart valve replacement. Topics of research have included:

  • Catheter treatments for heart valve repair and replacement.
  • Minimally invasive heart valve surgery.
  • New treatments for heart valve disease.
  • The use of 3D printing to make models of the heart and valves to prepare for heart valve surgery.
