METHODS We carried out a retrospective study with unmatched and matched groups. The 3-step PSP comprised the planning of mediastinal re-entry, cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and the main procedure, using standard 3-dimensional videos. Operative times (skin incision to CPB, CPB time, end of CPB to skin closure and cross-clamp time) as well as postoperative length of stay and in-hospital mortality were compared. RESULTS Eighty-two patients (49% classical tetralogy of Fallot) underwent an operation (85% with pulmonary homograft) with 1.22% in-hospital mortality. The 3-step PSP (n  = 14) and the conventional planning (n  = 68) groups were compared. There were no statistically significant differences in the preoperative characteristics. Differences were observed in the total operative time (P  =   0.009), skin incision to CPB (P  =   0.034) and cross-clamp times (74 ± 33 vs 108 ± 47 min; P  =   0.006), favouring the 3-step PSP group. Eight matched pairs were compared showing differences in the total operative time (263 ± 44 vs 360 ± 66 min; P  =   0.008), CPB time (123 ± 34 vs 190 ± 43 min; P  =   0.008) and postoperative length of stay (P  =   0.031), favouring the 3-step PSP group. CONCLUSIONS In patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot undergoing pulmonary valve replacement, preoperative planning using a standard CT-based strategy, the 3-step PSP, is associated with shorter operative times and shorter postoperative length of stay.
