Postoperative Transcatheter Interventions in Children Undergoing Congenital Heart Surgery.

Background Postoperative transcatheter interventions (TCIs) are performed after congenital heart surgery to treat residual or recurrent anatomic lesions. We used the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Congenital Heart Surgery Database to evaluate rates of postoperative TCIs, center variability, and to determine whether center approaches to postoperative TCI might be associated with outcomes. Methods and Results Patients <18 years undergoing an index operation (2010-2016) were included.
