May support preoperative planning in reoperative cardiac surgery; leaves open need for prospective outcome validation.
Does preoperative 3-D MDCTA improve surgical planning and prevent injury to vital structures in patients undergoing reoperative cardiac surgery?
Preoperative 3-D MDCTA in reoperative cardiac surgery provides critical anatomical information that guides surgical strategy and reduces the risk of catastrophic injury during sternal reentry.
Kaneko et al. (2013) conducted a review in Reoperative cardiac surgery. 3-D multidetector computed tomographic angiography (3-D MDCTA) was evaluated. 3-D multidetector computed tomography provides critical preoperative information that guides surgical strategy and reduces the risk of vital structure injury during reoperative cardiac surgery.
