[Verse 1] Gated CT, the heart stands still in time, Slice by slice we trace the sternal line, Conduit, aorta, RV, innominate vein, Measure the gap or you'll measure out the pain, Direct contact with that bone, posterior table, Re-entry risk ain't rumor, it's not a fable, Oscillating saw drops blind, don't know what's in the way, That's why the scanner speaks before the scalpel gets a say. [Chorus] Scanne-moi le cœur, avant d'ouvrir la porte, Mesure chaque millimètre, c'est comme ça qu'on sort forte, CT, c'est la carte, avant la tempête de l'os, Regarde deux fois, trois fois, et puis — allez, bravo. [Verse 2] Now trace the coronaries, see where the left main hides, Tucked behind the proximal anastomosis side, LAD running close, clip it and you're sunk, Surgeon wants the roadmap before the sternum's chunked, Calcium burden crusting up the conduit wall, Brittle like a gutter pipe about to stall, Pseudoaneurysm ballooning out, unseen and slow, Branch PA stenosis choking off the flow. [Chorus] Scanne-moi le cœur, avant d'ouvrir la porte, Mesure chaque millimètre, c'est comme ça qu'on sort forte, CT, c'est la carte, avant la tempête de l'os, Regarde deux fois, trois fois, et puis — allez, bravo. [Verse 3] Drop south to the groin, check the femoral lane, Iliac vessels scouted for the bypass train, Peripheral cannulation needs a vessel wide and clean, Plan the rescue circuit before you're caught between, Measure conduit diameter, transcatheter dreams, Can a valve-in-valve fit snug inside those seams? MRI's out — a pacemaker's in the chest, CT steps up, gives the RV volumes the test. [Verse 4] Timing the bolus, contrast chasing through the right heart, Pulmonary phase or systemic, gotta know where to start, Creatinine whispers caution, premeds on the chart, Low-dose protocol keeps the kidneys and the model smart, Adhesions mapped from the first cut's healing scar, Sternal wires glowing bright, don't scratch that bar, RV free wall creeping close beneath the bone, One more slice confirms it's safe to make it home, Every redo's different, every chest its own design, Trust the pixels, trust the planes, trust the dotted line. [Bridge] Trois dimensions, modèle imprimé en main, Rehearse the re-entry, sketch the surgeon's plan, Patch geometry sculpted before you ever cut, No surprise beneath the bone, no gamble, no "what if." [Chorus] Scanne-moi le cœur, avant d'ouvrir la porte, Mesure chaque millimètre, c'est comme ça qu'on sort forte, CT, c'est la carte, avant la tempête de l'os, Regarde deux fois, trois fois, et puis — allez, bravo. [Outro] Gated, mapped, et voilà — on y va, CT for redo, mon ami, c'est comme ça, Every layer counted, every risk disarmed, C'est la science qui protège, c'est l'image qui désarme.
