Abstract
Cardiac catheterization is an integral part of medical management for pediatric patients with congenital heart disease. Owing to age and lack of cooperation in children who need this procedure, general anesthesia is typically required. These patients have increased anesthesia risk secondary to cardiac pathology. Furthermore, multiple catheterization procedures result in exposure to harmful ionizing radiation. Magnetic resonance imaging-guided right-heart catheterization offers decreased radiation exposure and diagnostic imaging benefits over traditional fluoroscopy but potentially increases anesthetic complexity and risk. We describe our early experience with anesthetic techniques and challenges for pediatric magnetic resonance imaging-guided right-heart catheterization.Entities:
