ABSTRACT = {Three‐dimensional rotational angiography (3D‐RA) enables volumetric imaging 
through rotation of the C‐arm of an angiographic system and real‐time 3D recon‐
struction during cardiac catheterization procedures. In the field of congenital heart 
disease (CHD), 3D‐RA has gained considerable traction, owing to its capability for en‐
hanced visualization of spatial relationships in complex cardiac morphologies and real 
time image guidance in an intricate interventional environment. This review provides 
an overview of the current applications, strengths, and limitations of 3D‐RA acquisi‐
tion in the management of CHD and potential future directions. In addition, issues of 
dosimetry, radiation exposure, and optimization strategies will be reviewed. Further 
implementation of 3D‐RA will be driven by patient benefits relative to existing 3D 
imaging capabilities and fusion techniques balanced against radiation exposure.},
