Case Report (n=1)
Image fusion software combining pre-registered CT with 2D fluoroscopy can successfully guide diagnostic heart catheterization and eliminate the need for aortography in complex congenital heart disease.
Góreczny et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Tetralogy of Fallot, pulmonary atresia, and major aortopulmonary collaterals (n=1). Pre-intervention imaging with a novel image fusion software was evaluated on Successful guidance of diagnostic heart catheterisation and selective cannulation of major vessels. Pre-intervention imaging with a novel image fusion software successfully guided diagnostic heart catheterisation and enhanced selective cannulation of major vessels, making aortography unnecessary.
