    Abstract

    The treatment of congenital heart disease has been revolutionized by the availability of transcatheter devices. These advances in interventional pediatric cardiology require that both treating physicians and radiologists develop a more thorough understanding of the appearance of these devices on chest radiographs. Furthermore, recognition of appropriate versus inappropriate placement of transcatheter devices is essential to the care of patients with congenital heart disease. Knowledge of the radiographic appearance of devices used by interventional pediatric cardiologists can allow a radiologist to make better clinical assessments and detect possible complications given a limited clinical history.
