Description
Takashi Kido and six co-authors report a heart patch case in a small infant in a paper from 2026. A one-month-old baby with a blocked lung valve had surgery to open the outflow path from the right heart chamber. The surgeons used a new hybrid knit patch designed to let the body's own tissue grow into it.
Ten months later the valve narrowed again and the patch was removed in a second operation. Lab study of the removed patch showed both faces covered with new tissue of muscle cells, vessels, and collagen. Mature support cells and tiny vessels confirmed real regrowth inside the fabric.
