Use of ultrasound for vascular access during cardiac catheterisation in children with congenital heart disease: a Swiss multicentre cohort study
US guidance is preferred for the localisation and cannulation of vessels during cardiac catheterisation within paediatric cardiology departments in Switzerland. Given its high success rate for first-attempt cannulation, US warrants additional research to evaluate its potential in reducing complications.
