Abstract

The case described is of a 7-year-old boy with recurrent long-segment left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Due to previous pulmonary artery band stenosis and subsequent repair with a prosthetic patch, the pulmonary root was not intact. In this complicated Ross-Konno operation, the prosthetic patch was replaced with autologous tissue and the repaired pulmonary root was used successfully as an autograft.

3D heart model for computer simulations in cardiac surgery.

For a satisfactory computer simulation, a model, which imitates a natural situation, is needed. The Human heart is an irregular 3D object and thus difficult to reproduce. Basic data was taken from Visible Human Dataset (VHD), National Library of Medicine. The heart area was cut out of the original cross-sections and different tissues segmented. All the slices also had to be aligned to assure precise overlapping of the structures. A 3D computer heart model with the resolution of 1mm was designed. The heart model was dedicated to simulations of heat transfer during heart surgery however, it is applicable also to other medical simulations.
