DownloadAEPC Interventional Cardiology Part of the ECHSA-CD
The AEPC Interventional Cardiology Part of the ECHSA-Congenital Database (CD) was launched during the AEPC 2023 Annual Meeting in Dublin, Ireland.
This database is the result of hard work and has been long desired by the AEPC Interventional Cardiology Working Group and the AEPC.
The database will allow centres to have access to robust surgical and transcatheter outcome data from their own centre, as well as robust national and international aggregated outcome data for benchmarking. Each contributing centre or department will have access to their own data, as well as aggregated data from the AEPC Interventional Cardiology Part of the ECHSA-CD. The AEPC Interventional Cardiology Part of the ECHSA-CD will allow cardiology centres to have access to aggregated cardiology data, just as surgical centres already have access to aggregated surgical data.
Comparison of surgical and catheter interventional outcomes could potentially strengthen decision processes. Studies of the wealth of information collected in the database could potentially also contribute toward improved early and late survival, as well as enhanced quality of life of patients with paediatric and/or congenital heart disease treated with surgery and interventional cardiac catheterization across Europe and the world.
