  • Title: Cardiovascular Computed Tomographic Angiography as a Virtual Patient Avatar for Individualized Surgical Planning of Complex Anomalous Coronary Artery Anatomy.
    Author: Shinbane JS, Baker C, Saremi F, Starnes V.
    Journal: World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg; 2019 Jul; 10(4):502-503. PubMed ID: 31307300.
    Abstract:
    Cardiovascular computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) 3-D thoracic reconstruction can serve as a "virtual patient avatar" providing surgical views for approach to complex anomalous coronary artery anatomy. Images demonstrated a single coronary artery ostium arising from the right aortic sinus with trifurcation into a prepulmonic left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), an interarterial circumflex with a subsequent intraseptal course, and normal course of the right coronary artery. Virtual 3-D CCTA reconstructions were important to planning an incisional plane for surgical correction.
