Cardiology in the Young, vol. 33, pp. 854–861

Abstract

To reflect new developments in imaging, indications, and techniques in catheterisation of patients with CHD, the training recommendations of the Association for European Paediatric and Congenital Cardiology (AEPC) for the training in interventional catheterisation for CHD have been reviewed and updated after more than 7 years. They include detailed information about knowledge, skills, and approach to clinical practice expected from trainees at basic, intermediate, and advanced level.
