Catheter-based interventions for adult congenital and structural heart disease are rapidly evolving, requiring specialized multidisciplinary teams and training to utilize emerging technologies.
This review outlines the rationale, training needs, team structure, and emerging technologies for catheter-based interventions in adult congenital and structural heart disease.
Multidisciplinary teams merit consideration for structural interventions; leaves open optimal training standardization amid evolving technologies.
In recent decades, there has been an exponential growth in both the number and range of catheter-based interventions for adult congenital and structural heart disease. In this article, we discuss the rationale for the ongoing development of minimally invasive multidisciplinary interventions; the required training elements necessary to achieve expertise in the field; the cardiac team needed to best perform these interventions; and the currently available and up and coming technologies for performing transcatheter valve therapies.
