Abstract

Minimally invasive interventions in the cardiac catheterisation laboratory are now routine in the management of children with congenital heart disease. The majority of the procedure requires the child to be anaesthetised. This tutorial discusses the general principles, specific situations, associated complications and highlights the importance of vigilance and effective communication in management of these cases.
