Advances in fetal cardiac intervention

Current Opinion in Pediatrics

Abstract

Fetal cardiac intervention is in a rapid state of progress now. Attempts are being made to prevent fetal hydrops due to congenital heart defects, to recruit hypoplastic ventricles, to create a two-ventricle circulation after birth, and to remodel the fetal pulmonary vascular bed whose outlet is obstructed. Open heart surgery in the fetus has yet to be done successfully, but interventions for improved cardiac outcomes are now being tested. Their outcomes will depend, in large part, on their successful physiological effects. How to measure these and quantitate the effects of our interventions will require further advances in the understanding of these diseases-both their natural and unnatural courses. New ultrasound techniques and assessment tools to assess fetal cardiac wellness could enhance the limited progress in fetal intervention in the heart so far.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
