A medical staff holds a 3.2-kilogram baby boy who was safely delivered at Tu Du Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City on February 25, 2026, nearly two months after doctors performed a 30-minute fetal cardiac intervention. Follow-up assessments showed the fetal heart disease progressing, with increasing underdevelopment of the right ventricle. N.T.T., 27, and her husband share a joyful moment after the successful fetal cardiac intervention performed on December 30, 2025 at Tu Du Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City. Dr. Tran Ngoc Hai, director of Tu Du Hospital, said the most striking aspect of the case was the procedure's duration. Fetal cardiac intervention is an advanced, highly specialized procedure that requires close coordination among obstetrics, pediatric cardiology, anesthesiology and resuscitation, and diagnostic imaging.
