03 December 201910.45 Revolutionary intervention - and the first of its kind in Europe - at the Roman pediatric hospital "Bambino Gesù". A 5-year-old child has been implanted with an artificial bronchus, which will allow him to breathe normally until his "real" bronchi are healed. The artificial bronchus was entirely designed for the Infant Jesus and then printed in 3D using absorbable materials, which will be progressively eliminated from the child's body during healing. The child, operated in Rome in October, is already at home.
