Radiation risk from pediatric cardiac catheterization: friendly fire on children with congenital heart disease.
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most prevalent and fatal of all birth defects, occurring in nearly 1 in 100 live births.1 Before the advent of cardiac surgery for congenital cardiac malformations, less than one fifth of children born with such lesions reached adulthood. The progress of surgical management and, more recently, interventional catheterization has allowed an increasing number ...
متن کاملPulse fluoroscopy radiation reduction in a pediatric cardiac catheterization laboratory.
OBJECTIVE To determine if lower starting pulse fluoroscopy rates lead to lower overall radiation exposure without increasing complication rates or perceived procedure length or difficulty. SETTING The pediatric cardiac catheterization laboratory at University of Michigan Mott Children's Hospital. PATIENTS Pediatric patients with congenital heart disease. DESIGN/INTERVENTIONS We performed ...
متن کاملPatient-specific dose and radiation risk estimation in pediatric cardiac catheterization.
BACKGROUND Because of the higher radiosensitivity of infants and children compared with adults, there is a need to evaluate the doses delivered to pediatric patients who undergo interventional cardiac procedures. However, knowledge of the effective dose in pediatric interventional cardiology is very limited. METHODS AND RESULTS For an accurate risk estimation, a patient-specific Monte Carlo s...
متن کاملProcedure-type risk categories for pediatric and congenital cardiac catheterization.
BACKGROUND The Congenital Cardiac Catheterization Project on Outcomes (C3PO) was established to develop outcome assessment methods for pediatric catheterization. METHODS AND RESULTS Six sites have been recording demographic, procedural and immediate outcome data on all cases, using a web-based system since February 2007. A sample of data was independently audited for validity and data complet...
متن کاملDiagnostic Cardiac Catheterization in the Pediatric Population
Although the utility of diagnostic cardiac catheterization in the clinical setting has diminished over the last years, due to the emergence of noninvasive imaging modalities, such as echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography, catheterization for diagnostic reasons still constitutes a valuable tool in certain parts in the workup of pediatric heart disease. As a result,...
