Abstract
А complex congenital heart disease often causes difficulties in making a final clinical diagnosis and choosing the optimal method for its surgical repair. 3D-visualization methods make possible to determine the morphology of the anomaly with high accuracy, the ability to create 3D-printed models allows a more detailed study of it facilitating surgical planning. This report presents an example of the use of 3D-visualization and 3D-printing technologies at the stages of surgical planning for univentricular repair of a complex congenital heart disease in a child.
