Objectives: Our goal was to compare results between a standard computed tomography (CT)-based strategy, the 'three-step preoperative sequential planning' (3-step PSP), for pulmonary valve replacement in repaired tetralogy of Fallot versus a conventional planning approach.
Methods: We carried out a retrospective study with unmatched and matched groups. The 3-step PSP comprised the planning of mediastinal re-entry, cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and the main procedure, using standard 3-dimensional videos.
