The rapid proliferation of catheter-mediated treatments for congenital heart defects has brought with it a critical need for cooperation and communication among the numerous physicians supporting these new and complex procedures. New interdependencies between physicians in specialties including cardiac imaging, interventional cardiology, pediatric cardiology, anesthesia, cardiothoracic surgery, and radiology have become apparent, as centers have strived to develop the best systems to foster success. Best practices for congenital heart disease interventions mandate confident and timely input from an individual with excellent adjunctive imaging skills and a thorough understanding of the devices and procedures being used. The imager and interventionalist must share an understanding of what each offers for the procedure, use a common terminology and spatial orientation system, and convey concise and accurate information about what is needed, what is seen, and what cannot be seen. The goal of this article is to review how the cardiovascular imaging specialists and interventionalists can work together effectively to plan and execute catheter interventions for congenital heart disease.
心脏导管介入治疗先天性心脏病的迅速发展，对众多支持这些新的复杂手术的医生之间的合作和沟通提出了迫切需求。包括心脏成像、介入心脏病学、儿科心脏病学、麻醉、心胸外科和放射学在内的多个专业的医生之间出现了新的相互依存关系，因为中心一直在努力开发最佳系统以促进成功。先天性心脏病介入的最佳实践需要有一个具有出色辅助成像技能且对正在使用的设备和程序有深入了解的人，能够自信且及时地提供输入。成像专家和介入专家必须了解彼此的专长，使用通用的术语和空间定位系统，并传达关于所需内容、所见内容和无法看到的内容的简洁准确的信息。本文的目的是回顾心血管成像专家和介入专家如何能够有效地合作，共同规划和执行先天性心脏病的导管介入治疗。
