Pediatric cardiac catheterization is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure designed to evaluate and treat various heart conditions in children. During this procedure, a catheter (a thin, flexible tube) is inserted into the blood vessels, typically in the groin, and guided to the heart. Pediatric cardiologists use this technique to diagnose congenital heart defects, assess blood flow, and measure pressure within the heart chambers. In addition to diagnosis, pediatric cardiac catheterization allows for the treatment of certain heart conditions without the need for open-heart surgery. Interventions such as closing abnormal openings, widening narrowed vessels, or placing devices to redirect blood flow can be performed through the catheter. This approach offers the advantage of reduced recovery time and minimized trauma compared to traditional surgical methods, making it a valuable tool in the comprehensive care of pediatric cardiac patients.
