Book excerpt: Congenital and pediatric cardiology continues to advance at a rapid pace, with recent decades witnessing tremendous progress in transcatheter interventions as well as advanced 3D technologies for patient-specific therapy. Several newer devices, non-invasive image-guided therapies, and interventional techniques are appearing regularly. The novelties from the field require not only to be acknowledged but also to be broadcast within the community of interventional pediatric cardiologists. This Research Topic will highlight current strategies for the management of children and adults with congenital and structural heart disease. This Research Topic will cover a wide range of catheter-based techniques along with interventional pearls from world experts and next-generation key opinion leaders in the field of catheter-based treatment of congenital heart defects. The Research Topic will also include a comprehensive comparison of the advantages and pitfalls of commercially available devices that are designed for similar clinical applications. Attention will be drawn to important tips and tricks to assist interventionists in achieving optimal clinical and procedural outcomes.
