About this Research Topic
Congenital heart disease is a common congenital cardiovascular disease in children. Common types of CHD include atrial septal defect (ASD), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), ventricular septal defect (VSD), pulmonary valve stenosis (PS), etc., which seriously affect children's growth and development, and even endanger their lives. Previously, open chest surgery was used to treat CHD, but the surgical trauma was significant and the cost was high. In recent years, interventional techniques have gradually matured. Interventional therapy guided by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) has the advantages of low contrast agent dosage, low X-ray radiation, ability to reduce overlapping background images and increase contrast clarity, and various image processing techniques. It has been widely used in the treatment of CHD. Correct diagnosis and standardized treatment are of great significance for early prevention and treatment of CHD and improving the quality of life of CHD children.
In this research topic, we would like to create a forum to systematically introduce the latest advances in etiological diagnosis and imaging diagnosis of congenital heart disease in children, including standardized diagnostic methods using ultrasound and radiological imaging techniques, and to comprehensively discuss the interventional treatment of congenital heart disease in children, including the advancement of therapeutic instruments.
