Summary

Paediatric therapeutic heart catheterization offers minimally invasive options for congenital heart disease, serving as an alternative or supplement to surgery. Interventional therapies like balloon valvuloplasty and device occlusion are increasingly vital for effective treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Paediatric Cardiology
  • Interventional Cardiology

Background:

  • Congenital heart disease treatment is evolving.
  • Minimally invasive approaches are gaining importance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the growing role of paediatric therapeutic heart catheterization.
  • To outline various interventional techniques and their current applications.

Main Methods:

  • Balloon valvuloplasty for stenotic valves/vessels.
  • Stent implantation.
  • Occlusion of defects (e.g., atrial/ventricular septal defects) using coils or umbrella devices.
  • Occlusion of unwanted vascular structures.

Main Results:

  • Balloon valvuloplasty for pulmonary valve stenosis and embolisation of small vessels are established treatments.
  • Interventions for aortic stenosis, coarctation, peripheral pulmonic stenosis, and patent ductus arteriosus are valuable surgical alternatives.
  • Atrial/ventricular septal defect occlusions and stent implantations are investigational but promising.

Conclusions:

  • Paediatric therapeutic heart catheterization is a crucial and expanding field in congenital heart disease management.
  • Interventional cardiology provides effective alternatives to surgery for various conditions.
  • Further research into long-term outcomes of newer interventions is warranted.
