Invited commentary for: Essential role of cardiac computed tomography for surgical decision making in children with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection and single ventricle.

Abstract

Thousands of neonates are born each year with complex congenital heart defects, such as total anomalous pulmonary venous connection combined with single ventricle physiology. This dual diagnosis with significant vessel and ventricular complexity requires alternative additional imaging to fully visualize the anatomical challenge and devise the appropriate treatment strategy for the patient.
