Clinical Impact of Rapid Prototyping 3D Models for Surgical Management

Exclusion Criteria

• •Complex defects involving atrioventricular valve anomalies
• •1. complete or transitional atrioventricular canal
• •2. double inlet left ventricle
• •3. tricuspid atresia
• •4. mitral atresia
• •Defects with valve dysfunction requiring an extensive valvuloplasty
• •Patients with a contraindication to MRI scanning will be excluded unless they are referred for a cardiac CT per clinical standard of practice. These contraindications include patients with the following devices:
• •1. Central nervous system aneurysm clips
• •2. Implanted neural stimulator
• •3. Implanted cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator which are not MR safe or MR conditional according to the manufacturer
• •4. Cochlear implant
• •5. Ocular foreign body (e.g. metal shavings)
• •6. Implanted Insulin pump
• •7. Metal shrapnel or bullet.
• •8. Any contraindications to receiving IV gadolinium contrast, determined clinically
• •Subjects where MRI or CT images are acquired more than six months prior to the scheduled surgical date
• •Subjects where date of scan to date of surgery is less than 10 calendar days
• •Subjects where MRI or CT reconstruction is limited due to poor image acquisition as solely determined by the Image Reconstruction Center.
