Use of Virtual Reality for Hybrid Closure of Multiple Ventricular Septal Defects.

ABSTRACT: A 28-month-old girl with multiple ventricular septal defects previously underwent surgical and transcatheter attempts at repair. Three-dimensional models were created from cardiac magnetic resonance-derived images. Viewing the models in virtual reality allowed the team to precisely locate the defects and decide on a hybrid transcatheter and surgical approach to ensure successful repair. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
