Abstract

An aortopulmonary window is a rare disorder that occurs in 0.1–0.2% of all congenital disorders. Our patient was a 1-month-old boy weighing 4180 g. The patient had heart failure associated with an aortopulmonary window. We used 3-dimensional computer graphic software (Viewtify, SCIEMENT) for diagnosis based on DICOM data from contrast-enhanced computed tomography. This made it easy to identify anatomical landmarks and findings and select the most suitable approach. We avoided stenosis of the right pulmonary artery and aorta. We encountered a case of an aortopulmonary window in which 3-dimensional computer graphic software was helpful in selecting the surgical technique. We report this case using 3-dimensional computer graphic images and present a review of the literature.

将看不见的东西可视化：通过三维计算机图形增强主动脉肺窗诊断。

大动脉肺动脉窗是一种罕见的疾病，在所有先天性疾病中占 0.1%-0.2%。我们的患者是一名 1 个月大的男孩，体重 4180 克。我们使用三维计算机图形软件（Viewtify，SCIENMENT）根据对比增强计算机断层扫描的 DICOM 数据进行诊断。这样就很容易确定解剖标志和检查结果，并选择最合适的方法。我们避免了右肺动脉和主动脉的狭窄。我们遇到过一例主动脉肺动脉窗病例，三维计算机绘图软件有助于我们选择手术方法。我们利用三维计算机图形图像报告了这一病例，并对文献进行了回顾。

期刊介绍： The Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (MMCTS) is produced by The European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS). MMCTS is the world’s premier video-based educational resource for cardiovascular and thoracic surgeons; freely accessible - and essential - for all. MMCTS was launched more than ten years ago under the leadership of founding editor Professor Marko Turina. It was Professor Turina’s vision that the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS), already the world-leader in CT surgery education, should take advantage of the Internet’s rapidly improving video publication capabilities and create a new step-by-step manual of surgical procedures. Professor Turina and EACTS agreed that the manual, MMCTS, should be freely accessible to all users, regardless of association membership status, nationality, or affiliation. MMCTS was self-published by EACTS for some years before being transferred to Oxford University Press, which hosted it until the end of 2016. In November 2016, the Manual returned home to EACTS and it has now relaunched in a completely new format. Since its birth in 2005, MMCTS has published some 400 detailed, video-based demonstrations of cardio-thoracic surgical procedures. Tutorials published prior to 2012 have been archived and we are working with the authors of these tutorials to update their work pending republication on the new site. Our mission is to make MMCTS the best online reference for cardio-thoracic surgeons – residents and experienced surgeons alike. Our aim is to include tutorials presenting procedures at both a fundamental and an advanced level. Truly innovative procedures are also included and are identified as such.
