Swati Garekar, Alpa Bharati, Firoza Kothari, Sachin Patil, Shyam Dhake, Shivaji Mali, Amit Mhatre, Dilip Bind, Ashwini Joshi, Bharat Soni, Dhananjay MalankarAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology 2019 12(3):295-297 A 3-year-old child with a complex variant of double outlet right ventricle achieved a successful biventricular repair after detailed delineation of the intracardiac anatomy on multimodality imaging. A virtual three-dimensional (3D) model based on computed tomography was used successfully in the absence of an actual 3D-printed model. This case report seeks to highlight and hence increase the utilization of the virtual 3D model in resource-limited settings.
