Preoperative cardiac computed tomography for demonstration of congenital cardiac septal defect in adults

Abstract

• Cardiac CT can demonstrate cardiac septal defect accurately in preoperative planning. • Cardiac CT can demonstrate combined abnormalities of cardiac septal defect. • Cardiac CT may have an incremental role over echocardiography in complex anatomy.

3D reconstruction for preoperative planning of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return

“…Current standard preoperative visualization of PAPVR is generally based on cross-sectional 2D imaging [5][6][7], which often provides the surgeon with a suboptimal assessment due to the lack of a volumetric representation. This adversely affects the full understanding of intracardiac and vascular anatomy.…”
