Overview
Although this is an invasive method, it is possible to confirm the diagnosis and obtain additional anatomical and hemodynamic data, including the location and magnitude of right to left shunting, the level and severity of right ventricular outflow obstruction, the anatomical features of the right ventricular outflow tract and the main pulmonary artery and its branches, and the origin and course of the coronary arteries.
Cardiac catheterization
Recommendations for Interventional Catheterization
Class I 1. Interventional catheterization in an ACHD center is indicated for patients with previously repaired tetralogy of Fallot with the following indications:
- 1. To eliminate residual native or palliative systemic–pulmonary artery shunts. (Level of Evidence: B)
- 2. To manage coronary artery disease. (Level of Evidence: B)
Class IIa 1. Interventional catheterization in an ACHD center is reasonable in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot to eliminate a residual ASD or VSD with a left-to-right shunt greater than 1.5:1 if it is in an appropriate anatomic location. (Level of Evidence: C)
