      abstract = {Congenital cardiology continues to advance at a rapid  pace, with recent decades witnessing exceptional growth in  the number and range of catheter-based interventions. This  handbook is an ideal, up-to-date guide to the application  of these procedures across the entire patient age range,  from fetal life through to adulthood. Clear instruction is  offered on techniques of vascular access, valve dilatation,  angioplasty, stent implantation, defect closure, defect  creation, pulmonary valve implantation, and the hybrid  approach, as well as miscellaneous other procedures. Topics  are approached using a step-by-step format, ensuring that  the reader will immediately be able to access information  relevant to daily practice. Many explanatory figures and  drawings are included in each chapter in order to clarify  further how to plan, perform, and evaluate diagnostic and  interventional procedures in the field of congenital heart  disease. Attention is drawn to important tips and tricks  that will assist in achieving optimal outcomes. Besides the  detailed descriptions of procedures, background information  is provided on patient preparation, anesthesia,  instrumentation, and hemodynamics. At the end of the book,  an appendix includes additional general equations and BSA  and oxygen consumption charts. This handbook will be an  invaluable tool and a comprehensive companion for all who  work in the field of congenital heart disease.},
