Prognosis and outcome of intrauterine treatment of fetuses with critical congenital heart disease.
Intrauterine valvuloplasty is an innovative therapy, which promotes ventricular growth and function in some congenital heart diseases (CHDs). The technique remains challenging and can only be performed in a few centers. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and mid-term outcomes of fetal cardiac intervention (FCI) in fetuses with critical CHD in an experienced tertiary center. ⋯ Intrauterine FCI could be performed safely with good prognosis in critical CHD.
