The use of echocardiography in pediatric interventional cardiac catheterization procedures.
The last decade saw a dramatic change in the management of congenital heart defects. The introduction and development in echocardiography and Doppler modalities enable definitive diagnosis of congenital lesions without cardiac catheterization. At the same time, new therapeutic procedures for congenital defects using the catheter as a channel for different procedures were developed. These therap...
متن کاملIntracardiac echocardiography during interventional and electrophysiological cardiac catheterization.
Just as the growing interest and proliferation of methods to reperfuse the coronary artery system with transcatheter techniques spurred interest and utilization of intracoronary ultrasound (at least in academic centers), so the growth of anatomic cardiac transcatheter interventions and increasingly aggressive transcatheter ablative strategies to treat cardiac arrhythmias has stimulated the use ...
متن کاملInterventional cardiac catheterization.
Over the past decade, transcatheter interventions have become increasingly important in the treatment of patients with congenital heart lesions. These procedures may be broadly grouped as dilations (e.g., septostomy, valvuloplasty, angioplasty, and endovascular stenting) or as closures (e.g., vascular embolization and device closure of defects). Balloon valvuloplasty has become the treatment of...
متن کاملPercutaneous Common Carotid Artery Access for Pediatric Interventional Cardiac Catheterization.
BACKGROUND Surgical cutdown for access to the common carotid artery provides a more direct route for certain pediatric cardiac interventions and avoids femoral artery injury in small infants. The safety of percutaneous carotid access (PCA) in children is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Retrospective review of PCA at Texas Children's Hospital and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. From July 2006 t...
متن کاملPediatric interventional catheterization: reasonable expectations and outcomes.
This article considers the role transcatheter therapy plays in the treatment of each major type of congenital heart lesion. The focus is on the clinical ramifications of the interventions rather than their technical aspects.
