Cardiovascular surgeons at Miami Children's Hospital turned to 3D printing to print out a scale replica of a 4-year-old girl's heart so they could plan for a complicated surgery to save the girl's life. Using the 3D-printed model, the doctors were able to plan a surgery that hadn't been performed before using parts from a donor heart, and today young Adanelie Gonzalez's blood is flowing normally and she's recovering in the hospital. It's another example of the miracles 3D-printing is bringing to health care, and if it isn't enough to give you all of the feels, we don't know what will. http://cnet.co/1Bygd2I http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
