Surgical Planning for Reconstruction of Complex Heart Defects

NCT00972608 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 66

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to utilize cardiac imaging data acquired as part of the standard of care for these patients, such as MRI, 3D echo, and CT, and existing 3D reconstruction protocols to assess the feasibility of using surgical planning in the treatment of patients with complex cardiac defects. The specific aims of the project are as follows:

1. Develop a protocol to reconstruct heart models from patient imaging data and perform "virtual" surgery on reconstructed 3D anatomy using appropriate, pre-existing patient datasets.
2. Use the developed protocol to prospectively plan and evaluate the possible surgical options for new patients.
3. Validate that the optimal virtual anatomy agrees with what was surgically implemented using post-operative patient scans, when available.

Conditions

  • Double Outlet Right Ventricle

Interventions

OTHER

Anatomic Reconstruction and Surgical Planning

Standard of care patient-images will be acquired and used to construct a model of the patient anatomy. The model will then be used to simulate surgical options and allow the surgeon to visually evaluate the optimal approach.
