Virtual three-dimensional model for preoperative planning in a complex case of a double outlet right ventricle

Ann Pediatr Cardiol. 2019 Sep-Dec;12(3):295-297. doi: 10.4103/apc.APC_141_18.

Abstract

A 3-year-old child with a complex variant of double outlet right ventricle achieved a successful biventricular repair after detailed delineation of the intracardiac anatomy on multimodality imaging. A virtual three-dimensional (3D) model based on computed tomography was used successfully in the absence of an actual 3D-printed model. This case report seeks to highlight and hence increase the utilization of the virtual 3D model in resource-limited settings.

Keywords: Double outlet right ventricle; surgery; three-dimensional printing.
