History and Development of Interventional Devices forCongenital Heart Diseases in China

The development of interventional devices for congenital heart diseases in China has experienced the stage of imitation, improvement and innovation. After more than 30 years of evolution, the structure and performance of the devices made in China have reached a relatively perfect level. The experiences of clinical application and long-term follow-up of hundreds of thousands of cases show that the interventional devices made in China for congenital heart disease have stable performance and reliable curative effect. Among them, the performance of devices made in China for ventricular septal defect is world leading. In recent years, the development and application of innovative occluders, such as absorbable occluders, have also demonstrated Chinese characteristics, and are expected to create brilliant achievements in this field.
