Surgical Planning for Reconstruction of Complex Heart Defects

Completed

Conditions studied: Double Outlet Right Ventricle

In brief

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.

You may qualify if…

• any pre- or post-operative patient with a complex heart lesion treated at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta by Dr. Kanter or his team that is appropriate for surgical planning

You may not qualify if…

• upon review by engineers at Georgia Tech, the image quality of the acquired scans is deemed insufficient to reconstruct an accurate 3D model
