Three-dimensional (3D) modeling has become an invaluable tool for operative planning in the continually evolving complex field of adult congenital heart surgery. We present a case of an Intra-atrial conduit leak after multiple repairs of common atrium and criss-cross morphology. 3D modeling was critical in preoperative evaluation and operative planning for complicated intracardiac anatomy after an uncommon initial approach to preserve a biventricular circulation. In the setting of complex or rare congenital cardiac anomalies, advanced imaging and 3D modeling are helpful with preoperative planning.
