Clinical research in the treatment of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) is limited by the wide variety of CHD manifestations and therapeutic options as well as the generally low incidence of CHD. The availability of comprehensive, contemporary outcomes studies is therefore limited. This inadequacy may result in a lack of data-driven medical decision making. In 2013, clinician scientists at two centers began a research collaboration, the Congenital Catheterization Research Collaborative (CCRC). Over time, the CCRC has grown to include nine cardiac centers from across the United States, with a common data coordinating center. The CCRC seeks to generate high-quality, contemporary, statistically robust, and generalizable outcomes research which can help address important clinical questions in the treatment of CHD. To date, the CCRC has reported on multicenter outcomes in: neonates with congenital aortic stenosis, infants undergoing right ventricular decompression for pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum, and infants with ductal-dependent pulmonary blood flow. The CCRC has been successful at leveraging large multicenter cohorts of patients in a contemporary period to perform comparative studies. In the future, the CCRC plans to continue to perform hypothesis-driven retrospective and prospective observational studies of CHD populations where controversy exists or Individual University affiliate Hospital affiliate Membership Abstract Presentation at Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions 2018 Comparison of ductal arteriosus stent and Blalock-Taussig shunt as palliation for neonates with sole source ductal-dependent pulmonary blood flow: results from the congenital catheterization research collaborative 39Abstract Presentation at American Heart Association 2018Differences in somatic growth and mode of feeding by palliation strategy for infants with ductal-dependent pulmonary blood flow: results from the congenital catheterization research collaborative 18Abstract Presentation at American Heart Association 2018Comparison of outcomes at time of superior cavopulmonary connection between single ventricle patients with ductal-dependent pulmonary blood flow initially palliated with either Blalock-Taussig
