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

Implication

Analysis shows reduced radiation exposure in pediatric cardiology, indicating improved safety in procedures.

Abstract

Radiation exposure in contemporary pediatric cardiac catheterization is markedly lower than in earlier reports, with procedure complexity being the primary determinant of effective dose.
