Decreasing radiation exposure in interventional pediatric cardiology: a 10-year European single-center analysis of 3683 procedures

Key Points

• The research aims to evaluate trends in radiation exposure during pediatric cardiac catheterization over a decade.
• Analysis of 3683 catheterization procedures from a European single center over 10 years
• Assessment of radiation exposure levels
• Comparison of exposure related to procedure complexity
• Radiation exposure is significantly lower than in previous reports
• Procedure complexity was identified as the main factor influencing effective dose
