However, little has been reported about staff experiences and lessons learned from implementation of this method in pediatric cardiology.

Objectives: We describe the process of using existing registry data in the Pediatric Heart Network Residual Lesion Score Study, report stakeholders' perspectives, and provide recommendations to guide future studies using this methodology.
