Catheter treatment of congenital heart disease.
Over the last 10 years, several advances have been made in paediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery. However, the major developments have been in non-surgical attempts at transcatheter treatment of congenital heart disease. Initially these concerned some simple defects such as pulmonary valve stenosis but lately much more high-risk and complex defects have been treated.
