  ABSTRACT: Reoperative cardiac surgery is becoming more common surgery although it carries significant risk due to possible injury to vital structures under the sternum. Three-dimensional multidetector computed tomographic angiography (3-D MDCTA) allows identifying the relationship between the sternum and the mediastinal structures. Evidence shows that 3-D MDCTA guides surgical strategy and enables to perform this challenging surgery safely.
