Interventional cardiology in congenital heart disease.
Interventional procedures for congenital heart disease have evolved dramatically in the last decade. Beginning with pulmonary and aortic valvuloplasty, nowadays, stents and various devices are placed inside the heart and vessels to palliate or correct different congenital defects. The present communication summarizes the experience with interventional cardiology in congenital heart disease of the Instituto Nacional de Cardiología "Ignacio Chávez" during the last five years.
