Introduction.

1 Organization of a pediatric/congenital cardiac catheterization
laboratory.

2 Medications used in or in conjunction with the cardiac
catheterization laboratory and patient preparation for cardiac
catheterization.

3 Cardiac catheterization equipment.

4 Vascular access: needle, wire, sheath/dilator and catheter
introduction.

5 Catheter manipulations.

6 Special guide and deflector wires and techniques for their
use.

7 Flow directed catheters ("floating" balloon
catheters).

8 Transseptal left heart catheterization.

9 Retrograde arterial cardiac catheterization.

10 Hemodynamics, data acquisition, and interpretation and
presentation of data.

11 Angiographic techniques.

12 Foreign body removal.

13 Balloon atrial septostomy.

14 Blade/balloon atrial septostomy, special atrial septostomies,
atrial "stent septostomy".

15 Balloon dilation proceduresageneral.

16 Pulmonary valve balloon dilation.

17 Dilation of branch pulmonary artery stenosis.

18 Dilation of coarctation of the aortaanative and
re/residual coarctation.

19 Aortic valve dilation.

20 Mitral valvuloplasty.

21 Dilation of tricuspid valve stenosis, systemic vein stenosis
and miscellaneous intravascular/intracardiac stenoses.

22 Intravascular stents in congenital heart
diseaseageneral considerations, equipment.

23 Intravascular stent implantapulmonary branch
stenosis.

24 Intravascular stents in venous stenosis.

25 Coarctation of the aorta and miscellaneous arterial
stents.

26 Occlusion of abnormal small vessels, persistent shunts,
vascular fistulae including perivalvular leaks.

27 Transcatheter occlusion of the patent ductus arteriosus
(PDA).

28 Transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) occlusion.

29 Occlusion of the patent foramen ovale (PFO), atrial baffle
fenestrations and miscellaneous intracavitary communications.

30 Transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defects.

31 Purposeful perforation of atretic valves, other intravascular
structures and recanalization of totally obstructed vessels.

32 Special innovative or new, therapeutic catheterization
procedures and devices.

33 Endomyocardial biopsy.

34 Phlebotomy, pericardial and pleural drainage.

35 Complications of diagnostic and therapeutic cardiac
catheterizations.
