Therapeutic cardiac catheterization in children.

J D Waldman 1, R E Swensson 1
PMCID: PMC1002533  PMID: 2219894

Abstract

Cardiac catheterization, once the mainstay of diagnosis in children with congenital heart disease, has become a therapeutic modality for many conditions. Balloon dilatation can now open stenotic valves and vessels, coils and umbrellas can now close unwanted communications, and emboli can be withdrawn without surgical intervention.
