Popis: Objectives:The aim of the study was to report the outcome of cardiac catheterisation in low-weight patients.Background:Data regarding cardiac catheterisation in infants weighing Methods:We reviewed all cardiac catheterisations performed in infants weighing Results:A total of 218 procedures were performed on 211 patients. The mean age and weight were, respectively, 15 ± 26 days (range, 0–152) and 2111 ± 338 g (range, 1000–2500). Procedures were interventional and diagnostic, respectively, in 174 (80%) and 44 (20%) patients. Out of 218, 205 (94%) were successful. Eleven complications (5%) occurred – six with an adverse event severity score of 4 and five with an adverse event severity score of 3. Ten patients (91%) showed a favourable outcome, and one died (stent thrombosis few hours after patent ductus arteriosus stenting). No correlation was found between lower weight and occurrence of death (p = 0.68) or complications (p = 0.23). The gravity scores (procedure type risk and haemodynamic vulnerability index) were not predictive of complications.Conclusions:Cardiac catheterisation in infants weighing
