Cardiac catheterization has an illustrious history, originating in 1929 when Werner Forsmann, a surgical resident, performed a heart catheterization on himself. Transcatheter interventional procedures have been performed since the 1960s. The 1st intracardiac procedure to become standard therapy was a balloon atrial septostomy. Skeptics attacked this innovative procedure. However, the balloon septostomy procedure soon became the standard emergency procedure for certain congenital heart defects, and was the impetus for other investigators in the field of transcatheter intervention. We will discuss transcatheter treatment for congenital vascular stenoses and vascular occlusion.

心导管检查有着辉煌的历史，始于1929年，当时外科住院医生维尔纳·福斯曼对自己进行了心脏导管插入术。自20世纪60年代以来就已开展经导管介入手术。第一个成为标准治疗方法的心脏内手术是球囊房间隔造口术。怀疑论者抨击了这一创新手术。然而，球囊造口术很快成为某些先天性心脏缺陷的标准急救手术，并且推动了经导管介入领域其他研究人员的工作。我们将讨论先天性血管狭窄和血管闭塞的经导管治疗。
