Abstract
With the expansion of interventional cardiology into the pediatric population, vascular complications related to cardiac catheterization can be expected to occur. Cardiac surgeons must be prepared to treat these life-threatening injuries. We present a case and detail the technique of the surgical management of retroperitoneal arterial injury after interventional cardiac catheterization in a 6-month-old boy.
