Fetal cardiac intervention (FCI) is a rapidly evolving technique aimed at improving outcomes in fetuses with severe congenital heart disease (CHD). Despite the significant promise of FCI, critical issues remain unresolved, including optimal intervention timing, precise selection criteria, and the management of procedure-related complications. This study reviews current clinical practices in FCI, offering a practical and informative reference for clinicians in pediatric cardiology and related fields.
