Summary
Interventional therapy of congenital heart disease has come a long way since its inception, and made significant improvements in patient outcomes. Congenital defects receiving interventional therapy varies from simple lesions such as atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricle septal defect (VSD), and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) to complex ones in some cases. The broaden of application field requires follow-up. At the same time, advancement of sophisticated theories, advanced techniques, and novel devices has brought “green” process, which is echocardiography guided, and degradable devices for the interventional therapy of congenital heart disease.
In this Special Issue, we invite high-quality submissions of impressive cases, clinical studies, and state-of-art reviews on, but not limited to, the highlighted objectives.
