As of December 2012, 296 procedures were performed on 287 patients. The procedures included 128 duct occlusions, 55 pulmonary valve dilations, 25 atrial septal defect closures, 14 mitral valve dilations, and others. The local staff were trained to perform a majority of these cases.\n                    <jats:italic>Results:<\/jats:italic>\n                    Procedural success was achieved in 264 (89.2%). There were three deaths, five device embolisations, and three complications in mitral valve dilation. During the visits, the local staff were trained including one cardiologist, six nurses, and two technicians. The local team performed percutaneous interventions on its own after a couple of years. The goal is also to enable the local team to perform interventions independently.\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusion:<\/jats:italic>\n                    Training of an interventional cardiology team in a sub-Saharan setting is challenging but achievable. It may be difficult for a single centre to commit to sending frequent missions to a developing country to make a meaningful contribution to the training of local teams. In our case, coordination between the teams from the two countries helped to achieve our goals.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1047951114001000","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,9]],"date-time":"2014-06-09T07:23:15Z","timestamp":1402298595000},"page":"874-878","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Successful training of self-sufficient interventional paediatric cardiology team in a sub-Saharan setting: a multicentre collaborative model"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Endale","family":"Tefera","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shakeel A.","family":"Qureshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ram\u00f3n","family":"Bermudez-Ca\u00f1ete","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1047951114001000_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/stcs.2002.35298"},{"key":"S1047951114001000_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"559","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.288.5.559","article-title":"Volunteers see the world and help its people","volume":"288","author":"Vastag","year":"2002","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"S1047951114001000_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00246-003-0627-8"},{"key":"S1047951114001000_ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00246-012-0378-5"},{"key":"S1047951114001000_ref16","article-title":"Percutaneous balloon dilation of severe pulmonary valve stenosis in patients with cyanosis and congestive heart failure","author":"Tefera","year":"2013","journal-title":"Catheter Cardiovasc Interv"},{"key":"S1047951114001000_ref14","first-page":"601","article-title":"Prevalence of rheumatic heart disease among school children in Addis Ababa","volume":"76","author":"Oli","year":"1999","journal-title":"East Afr Med J"},{"key":"S1047951114001000_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00246-006-1452-7"},{"key":"S1047951114001000_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0003-4975(01)03228-3"},{"key":"S1047951114001000_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1047951108002801"},{"key":"S1047951114001000_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.107.726265"},{"key":"S1047951114001000_ref15","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6","DOI":"10.37757\/MR2010.V12.N2.3","article-title":"Cuba\u2019s National Pediatric Cardiology Program","volume":"12","author":"Casanova","year":"2010","journal-title":"MEDICC Rev"},{"key":"S1047951114001000_ref12","unstructured":"Novick WM , Di Sessa TG .
