We collected demographic, pre-procedural, procedural, and outcome-related variables. The most common MAE was arrhythmia, representing 46% of MAE, followed by cardiac arrest and bleeding each 20%. Conclusion:Cardiac catheterization is a safe procedure in pediatric patients with cardiomyopathy, with an overall MAE rate of 1.6%.

It can affect the functional outcome, increase risk of major adverse events, prolong LOS and increase the use of rehabilitation therapies (RT). Introduction:Pediatric heart transplant (PHT) recipient survival has improved. Yet, neurologic morbidity related to heart failure and its treatment persist.

BackgroundPediatric out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (POHCA) is associated with significant mortality and poor neurological outcomes. The case group included children (aged 1 day to 17 years) who experienced an out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest between 2004 and 2020.
