In summary, the role of the pediatric cardiac catheterization laboratory has changed from that of a primary diagnostic facility to a major therapeutic arena. We have reviewed our experiences with various occlusion devices to successfully treat patients with various congenital cardiac malformations, particularly the PDA. The future for interventional therapeutic procedures appears bright with the possibility of closure of certain defects in an outpatient setting now a reality, thereby lowering hospitalization costs and lessening post-therapeutic morbidity while preserving a high level of successful outcomes.
总之，儿科心导管实验室的作用已从主要的诊断设施转变为一个主要的治疗场所。我们回顾了使用各种封堵装置成功治疗各种先天性心脏畸形患者，尤其是动脉导管未闭患者的经验。介入治疗程序的未来前景光明，因为在门诊环境中闭合某些缺损已成为现实，从而降低了住院成本，减少了治疗后的发病率，同时保持了较高的成功率。
