Angeborene Herzfehler können mittels kathetergestützter Eingriffe erfolgreich
behandelt werden, jedoch weisen Kinder eine hohe Strahlensensibilität auf und in
der interventionellen Kardiologie muss besonders auf Optimierungsmaßnahmen
hinsichtlich des Strahlenschutzes geachtet werden. In einer retrospektiven
Studie wurde der Status quo der applizierten Strahlendosis für 3
interventionelle pädiatrische Herzkathetereingriffe ermittelt.
Abstract
Congenital heart disease, such as pulmonary artery stenosis, atrial septal defects,
and a persistent ductus arteriosus botalli, can be treated using catheter-based
procedures instead of surgical methods with high success rates. However, children
have a higher sensitivity to radiation due to their increased cell division rate,
their anatomy, and their longer lifespan. Additionally, interventional cardiology
is
considered high-dosage area, which requires particular attention to optimization
measures for radiation protection. According to the Medizinische
Strahlenschutzverordnung, there are currently no diagnostic reference levels for
interventional cardiological procedures in paediatric patients. This retrospective
study aims to determine the status quo of the applied radiation dose for three
interventional pediatric cardiac catheterization procedures, classified by
age/weight categories.
