At Arkansas Children’s Heart Institute, we benefit from having access to the talent, innovations and best practices of Arkansas Children’s. By combining their resources with ours, we constantly raise the bar in all areas of care.
Our 3D Heart Model Printing Center has fundamentally changed the way we work. It houses several 3D printers and design tools that generate colorful and tangible replicas of our patients’ hearts that surgeons can hold in their hands. By visualizing the heart defect before surgery begins, patients often spend less time in the OR and less time recovering from major heart surgery.
The HLA Tissue Typing Laboratory supports Arkansas’ clinical solid organ transplantation programs. These services include identifying specific tissue antigens, including HLA-A, B, C, DR, DQ, lymphocytotoxicity cross matches and determining the presence and specificity of circulating anti-HLA antibodies.
