The utility of three-dimensional visualization modalities such as printing, augmented reality, and virtual reality has transformed the field surgery in past few years. These have demonstrated value preoperative planning, procedural training, surgical guidance many specialties. This review explores current use further investigates its potential subspecialty congenital heart defect surgery.

Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) remain at high risk for long-term neurodevelopmental disabilities. Acute neurologic complications, such as seizures, transient ischemic attack, intracranial hemorrhage, and stroke may occur in the setting of cardiac surgery catheterization.

Advances in diagnostic methods and in the surgical and medical care of infants and children with congenital heart disease have resulted in one of the most successful rehabilitation programs that medicine has witnessed.1'2 In the United States alone, there are presently between 500,000 and 600,000 adults with congenital heart disease. Each year, about 20,000 open operations for congenital heart ...

There are limited data on the relationship between the administered dose of recombinant factor seven (rFVIIa) and the development of adverse clinical outcomes after congenital heart surgery. This single institution case series reports on dosing, adverse events, and blood product usage after the administration of rFVIIa in the congenital heart surgery patient population. A retrospective review i...

this study was conducted to assess the incidence of abnormalities of ventricular depolarization (late potentials) in children with sinus rhythm after open heart surgery and their relation to spontaneous ventricular tachycardia. open heart surgery, particularly operations involving ventriculotomy, may predispose patients to the development of ventricular tachycardia (vt) or ventricular fibrillat...
