title: Acute urinary retention following percutaneous interventions in individuals with congenital heart disease.
abstract: Though frequently reported following surgical procedures, urinary retention after cardiac catheterization is rare and has not previously been documented in the literature. We reported 4 cases of acute retention over a 1-year period encountered in patients with congenital heart disease undergoing interventional percutaneous procedures. We also review the literature.
