MRI simulation of blood flow helps plan child's delicate heart surgery

This new technique allows surgeons to virtually operate on the heart and see probable outcomes via MRI and computer programs. They can try various "surgeries" to see which works best for each individual heart. Very cool, and glad that Abby is going in for it this month. Her third surgery could be this Fall or next Spring depending on our end of August evaluation at CHOP. Keep positive thoughts headed Abby's way
