Abstract
A 24-year-old man presented with a nonischemic cardiomyopathy of unknown etiology, apical aneurysm, and a secondary mitral regurgitation. Computer tomography–derived 3-dimensional model of the patient’s heart was an essential step in guiding the surgical management for an optimal outcome. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
