Background: Lung transplantation remains the optimal treatment for children with end-stage lung disease, yet donor organ shortage represents the greatest obstacle to transplantation. In 2023, only 31 pediatric lung transplants were performed in the United States, with 9% of recovered lungs ultimately not transplanted. Pediatric waitlist mortality has increased, particularly for patients under one year of age, necessitating innovative strategies to expand the donor pool.

Photon-counting CT is an innovative advancement primed to redefine the field of clinical imaging. Unlike traditional CT systems that rely on energy-integrating detectors, photon-counting CT employs Pioneering energy-sensitive x-ray detectors to both count individual photons and measure their energy levels. This breakthrough enables greater contrast-to-noise ratio, sharper spatial resolution and enhanced spectral imaging.

Surgical advances have recently expanded the boundaries of feasibility for biventricular repair (BVR) in patients with complex congenital heart disease (CHD). In particular, diagnoses historically considered prohibitive for BVR-such as unbalanced atrioventricular septal defects (uAVSD), double-outlet right ventricles (DORV) with remote ventricular septal defects (VSD), atrioventricular valve straddle (AVVS), and heterotaxy-are now increasingly being managed with successful two-ventricle strategies. To determine whether fetal echocardiographic features once viewed as contraindications to BVR remain valid in the current surgical era, we retrospectively reviewed all patients evaluated by our institutional BVR committee from June 2023 to February 2025 with prenatally diagnosed uAVSD, DORV, or DORV-AVSD.
