Why is it important?

The report provides excellent virtual dissection images to demonstrate intracardiac anatomy as well as deatils of surgical repair technique.

A detailed preoperative assessment of cardiac morphology particularly with the use of virtual dissection permits better surgical planning. A thoughtful surgical repair can result in favorable surgical outcomes even in complex cardiac malformations.
