Interventional pediatric cardiology is an established and mature subspecialty in its
own right within pediatric cardiology. Although catheter-based techniques for relieving
pulmonary stenosis and closing arterial ducts were reported in the 1960s, it is generally
acknowledged that Rashkind’s and Miller’s 1966 report of balloon atrial septostomy
for transposition of the great arteries heralded the era of therapeutic cardiac catheterization
for congenital heart defects. However, broad application of catheter-based interventional
techniques to congenital heart disease would await the development and description
of a static, transluminal balloon dilation technique.
