A partial AV canal diagnosis that seemingly came out of nowhere scared Patrick’s family. But they soon learned he could have a thoracotomy, a unique minimally invasive procedure that is offered by Boston Children’s. After a quick recovery, 3-year-old Patrick is having fun at home in the Florida sun. Read how Patrick and his family travelled to one of the few hospitals that offers the thoracotomy to treat partial AV canal defect and other conditions and give children a fast recovery. ⤵️

Patrick's family is happy he received a minimally invasive thoracotomy to treat his atrioventricular canal defect.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the 2026 Fetal Intervention Family Day event! Families from across the center— as well as our medical staff and their families— gathered on a beautiful day of community and smiles! When we first met our families, they were expectant parents of complex fetal conditions that required expert care. Now, we’re so happy to see their children and families continue to grow.

Boston Children’s is proud to lead THUMPIN’ (Tissue-engineered Hearts Using Multimodal Printing in Newborns), a new research initiative bringing together Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and NTT Research to advance bioengineered heart tissues for infants and young children with congenital heart disease.

For children with complex heart defects, treatment can mean surgery after surgery as they grow. THUMPIN’ aims to change that by developing living cardiac tissues that can grow, function, and adapt with a child - with the ultimate goal of creating a complete, functioning heart.

Led by Drs. Pedro Del Nido and Kit Parker, alongside collaborators Drs. William Pu, Juan Melero-Martin, and Vassilios Bezzerides of Boston Children’s; Dr. Elena Aikawa of Mass General Brigham; and Dr. Joe Alexander of NTT Research, this initiative brings together experts across cardiac surgery, tissue engineering, stem cell biology, and more to help turn this vision into a future treatment option for children.
