Abstract
Utility of rapid prototyping in Complex DORV: does it alter management decisions?
Highlights
Complex ventricular-arterial (VA) relationships in patients with double outlet right ventricle (DORV) make preoperative assessment of potential repair pathways challenging
[1] In neonates and infants with DORV, Computed Tomography (CT) is often performed due to the ability to get high spatial resolution and ECG gated images [2], it is possible to get the necessary information from Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging with an added advantage of avoiding exposure to ionizing radiation
We hypothesized that it is possible to accurately define the intracardiac anatomy in infants with DORV using virtual and physical 3D printed models created from either MR or CT and this can both aid in better defining potential VA pathways and may assist in surgical decision making
