ABSTRACT

Since 1953 when the first percutaneous valvotomy procedure was performed at the Instituto Nacional de Cardiología “Ignacio Chávez”, interventional cardiac catheterization applied to congenital heart disease has developed greatly, mostly in the past 15 years. From atrial septostomy to occlusion of intracardiac defects, this therapeutical modality has increased its applications, and has given us additional resources to treat our patients with congenital heart defects. In this article we present a general perspective of our experience with these new techniques.
