Fetal cardiac intervention consists of a novel and evolving technique for the intrauterine treatment of a subset of patients with congenital heart diseases, which aims to improve hemodynamics, reduce secondary damage, and achieve better postnatal outcomes.

In addition, we provide a comprehensive overview of the medical literature, exploring the clinical implications of each therapy.
