Quantification of temporal, procedural, and hardware-related factors influencing radiation exposure during pediatric cardiac catheterization

Purpose To quantify the impact of relocation to a purpose built pediatric cardiac catheterization laboratory, on patient radiation dose and fluoroscopy time. To provide guide values for radiation exposure during common structural interventions. Material and methods Design: A retrospective review of common structural cardiac interventions performed over 10‐years.
