Pediheart Podcast # 72: Transcatheter Interventions Following Congenital Heart Surgery

Summary: This week we enter the worlds of cardiovascular surgery and interventional catheterization to review a recent STS dataset analysis of postoperative transcatheter interventions. Who needed these sorts of catheterizations more commonly after surgery and what was the relation between needing such an intervention and overall outcomes? How much variability existed between centers in their use of interventional cath following congenital heart surgery? We speak with Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Kevin Hill of Duke University about his recent study on this subject. doi: 10.1161/CIRCINTERVENTIONS.119.007853
