Document Objectives
Requirements for cardiac catheterization procedures in pediatric patients and patients with CHD differ greatly from adult coronary or structural interventions, with limited existing practice standard recommendations. Those standards that do exist are often overly broad and do not account for variations in practices across the globe. Consequently, this document outlines comprehensive best practice recommendations including modifications and adaptations for resource-limited environments and adult CHD patients.
