Why the study?
What is the radiation dose and estimated lifetime mortality risk for children undergoing therapeutic interventional cardiology procedures?
What is the radiation dose and estimated lifetime mortality risk for children undergoing therapeutic interventional cardiology procedures?
Therapeutic interventional cardiology procedures in children expose them to a wide range of radiation doses, with radio frequency ablation carrying the highest estimated lifetime mortality risk from radiation.
Pediatric interventional procedures show wide radiation exposure with highest risk in RFA; observational data leaves open optimal dose-reduction strategies.
