Area of Science:

Cardiology
Medical Imaging
Pediatric Surgery

Background:

Conventional 2D echocardiography and cross-sectional imaging pose challenges in surgical planning for complex congenital heart disease (CHD).
Accurate anatomical assessment is crucial for determining optimal surgical strategies in CHD patients.

Observation:

An 11-month-old patient with heterotaxy syndrome, dextrocardia, double-outlet right ventricle, and pulmonary valve stenosis presented with complex cardiac anatomy.
Multidisciplinary discussion was essential for planning a staged cardiac repair due to the intricate nature of the condition.

Findings:

Three-dimensional (3D) printed and virtual heart models, alongside CMR angiography, offered detailed visualization and spatial understanding.
These advanced imaging techniques facilitated assessment of a staged biventricular repair's feasibility.
Postoperative CMR was instrumental in guiding subsequent surgeries, evaluating repair structures, and identifying complications.

Implications:

Multimodality imaging, particularly advanced techniques like 3D modeling, plays a critical role in surgical planning for complex CHD.
Enhanced visualization and spatial conceptualization improve the precision and success rates of complex cardiac surgeries.
This case underscores the value of integrating novel imaging modalities into the management of pediatric congenital heart defects.
