The utility of three-dimensional modeling in planning repair of a complex atrioventricular canal defect
Surgical repair for patients with heterotaxy syndrome (HS) is highly challenging due to the need to redirect venous and intracardiac flow and avoid injury to the conduction system, which may be unpredictable in location. Although many of these patients have historically undergone single-ventricle palliation, outcomes are worse than for patients with single ventricles without HS,1 reinforcing the need for improved biventricular conversion strategies.
