Cardiothoracic Surgery Applications: Virtual CT Imaging Approaches to Procedural Planning

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Cardiac CT Imaging

Abstract

Cardiovascular computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) has led to a paradigm shift in planning and performance of cardiothoracic surgical procedures, providing information essential to decisions regarding surgical intervention. As the operating room and interventional cardiology laboratory have evolved, merging into a hybrid space, CCTA has assumed an essential role in determination of the optimal therapeutic modality and path of approach for percutaneous, minimally invasive robotic and open surgical approaches in this setting. CCTA has particular significance to planning of reoperation for coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, pericardial disease, congenital heart disease, cardiac masses, and advanced heart failure. Communication of the data beyond the written report can be achieved through images relevant for orientation and interventional approach. Review of these virtual views with the multidisciplinary team is important for maximal application and impact of this technology.
