ABSTRACT = {Most diagnostic testing in patients with anomalous aortic origins of coronary arteries, myocardial
bridges, and coronary artery changes after Kawasaki disease are performed with the use of noninvasive techniques. In some cases, however, further diagnostic information is needed to guide the
clinician in treating these patients. In such instances, cardiac catheterization with invasive anatomic
and functional testing is an invaluable tool. Moreover, interventional treatment in the cardiac catheterization laboratory may be performed in a small subset of these patients. As the diagnosis of
these conditions is now becoming more common, it is important for pediatric interventional cardiologists to be familiar with these techniques. In this article, the role of angiography, intravascular
ultrasound, fractional flow reserve, and optical coherence tomography in these patients is
reviewed.},
