05/29/2025 09:44 | TTXVN |

Fetal intervention specialists and pediatric cardiologists from Tu Du Hospital and Children's Hospital on May 28 successfully performed a complex in-utero heart intervention on a Singaporean woman's 22-week-old fetus diagnosed with a severe congenital heart defect. The patient was referred by KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital of Singapore to the Ho Chi Minh City-based hospitals for treatment - due to the unavailability of this advanced procedure in Singapore. This case marks the ninth fetal cardiac intervention conducted in HCM City, and it was considered the most technically demanding to date due to the fetus’s extremely early gestational age – only weighing just 600 grams, and the severity of the condition as diagnosed with a rare and life-threatening condition known as aortic atresia.
