Key result
Venous catheterization allowed for the recognition of auricular and ventricular septal defects by identifying abnormal blood oxygen saturation levels and catheter passage through the defects.

May aid congenital heart defect evaluation when noninvasive imaging is limited; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Case Report (n=2)
Venous catheterization provides a valuable diagnostic method for recognizing and evaluating the circulatory dynamics of congenital heart lesions.
Lewis Dexter (1947) conducted a case report in Congenital heart lesions (n=2). Venous catheterization was evaluated on Recognition of defects and estimation of physiological magnitude of shunts. Venous catheterization allowed for the recognition of auricular and ventricular septal defects by identifying abnormal blood oxygen saturation levels and catheter passage through the defects.
