Overview
Cardiac catheterization
Diagnostic
Cardiac catheterization is not frequently done to diagnose transposition of the great vessels, as it could be done confidently with echocardiography. It is in conditions when the echo findings are inconclusive. It can be used to determine the coronary anatomy.
Interventional
- Used while performing balloon atrial septostomy. This operation helps to increase mixing between the two circulatory systems.
