What is an Interventional Cardiac Catheter procedure?
There are a limited number of conditions that can be safely corrected by Interventional Cardiac Catheterisation. In these cases your cardiologist will have discussed with you if your child has a congenital heart condition which may be suitable for such a procedure. Two conditions that may be able to be corrected (depending on suitability) by this method include Patent Ductus Arteriosus, and Atrial Septal Defect. Other Interventional procedures may be possible and your cardiologist will discuss your child’s individual case with you.
