Abstract Objective: New platforms for patient imaging present opportunities for improved surgical planning
in complex congenital heart disease (CHD). Virtual reality (VR) allows for interactive manipulation
of high-resolution representations of patient-specific imaging data, as a supplement to traditional
2D visualizations and 3D printed heart models.
Design: We present the novel use of VR for the presurgical planning of cardiac surgery in two
infants with complex CHD to demonstrate interactive real-time views of complex intra and extracardiac anatomy.
Results: The use of VR for cardiac presurgical planning is feasible using existing imaging data. The
software was evaluated by both pediatric cardiac surgeons… More >
