Abstract:
This review is based on interviews with internationally recognized female leaders in congenital cardiac interventions. The discussions explore diverse career pathways and professional experiences across different health care systems. The interviews are structured around 8 core themes: entry into the field, training, key turning points, leadership and professional survival, science and recognition, mentoring and legacy, the "Water or Warrior" paradigm, and messages for the future. Together, these perspectives offer a global view of shared challenges, career development, and the evolving role of women in congenital interventional cardiology.
