Abstract:

Computed tomography (CT) is an indispensable tool for preoperative planning in minimally invasive cardiac surgery. In this article, the authors estimate significance of CT for analysis of anatomy and pathology of cardiovascular system. CT provides surgeons with high-quality images and assessment of structural features in the areas of subsequent manipulations. These aspects are essential for individualized surgical plan. CT significantly reduces the risk of postoperative complications due to better understanding of anatomical features. Moreover, CT contributes to safe minithoracotomy. Thus, CT is essential in preoperative planning. This method improves postoperative outcomes and minimizes surgical risks.
