Table 9 Classification of surgical and catheter-based procedures based on their relevance for the prognosis of the patients with congenital heart diseases and genetic heart diseases
| Emergency cases (Not delay more than 24-48 h) | Urgent cases (Not delay more than days to weeks) | Elective cases (Delay > 2 mo) |
| Surgical or catheter procedures | ||
| ECMO in hemodynamically unstable patient | Transposition of great vessels | |
| PDA stent in unstable patient on prostaglandin treatment | Norwood procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome | Valvular regurgitations managed medically |
| Thrombosed shunt | Truncus arteriosus | Slow progressive aortic stenosis scheduled for Ross procedure |
| Pericardial tamponade | Obstructive lesions stabilized with prostaglandins | Pre-Fontan catheterization with adequate saturations on room air (> 75%) |
| Rashkind procedure | Glenn procedure with decreasing saturations (< 75%) | |
| Heart transplant | Persistent heart failure in shunts on maximal anti congestive therapy | |
| Obstructed total anomalous pulmonary venous return | Endocarditis in hemodynamically stable patient | |
| ALCAPA | ||
| Stenotic right ventricle-Pulmonary artery conduit with severe ventricular dysfunction | ||
| Electrophysiological procedures | ||
| Emergency cases (Not delay more than 24-48 h) | Urgent cases (Not delay more than days to weeks) | Elective cases (Delay > 2 mo) |
| Cardiac arrest in association with pre-excited atrial fibrillation | Primary prevention defibrillator implants after life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia | Tilt-table test |
| Arrhythmia causing need for ECMO | Cardiac resynchronization therapy | Implantable loop recorder implants |
| Incessant arrhythmia with severe ventricular dysfunction | Ablation for medically refractory ventricular tachycardia | Ablation of stable arrhythmias adequate managed with drugs without cardiomyopathy |
| Pacemaker insertion for advanced AV-block | Ablation of SVT though to contribute to cardiomyopathy | Upgrades of devices |
| Defibrillator implant for secondary prevention of sudden death | Generator replacements with > 6 wk of battery remaining | |
| Pacemaker generator replacement for pacing-dependent patients | Pacemaker implant for sinus node dysfunction, non-high-grade AV block and tachy-brady syndrome in middle symptomatic patients | |
| Defibrillator generator replacement for patients with appropriate defibrillator therapies. | ||
| Ablation of supra ventricular arrhythmias causing hemodynamic deterioration and WPW syndrome associated with cardiac arrest | ||
| Transvenous lead extraction |
