Fetal Cardiac Interventions

Thomas Smith

A novel and developing method, fetal cardiac intervention, or FCI, allows for the treatment of a subset of congenital heart disease in utero. The three most frequently performed FCI are discussed in this review, along with their rationale, selection criteria, technical characteristics, and current outcomes: hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS), fetal aortic stenosis; HLHS with a restrictive or intact atrial septum; and pulmonary atresia with an intact ventricular septum, which raises the risk of RV hypoplasia getting worse.
