CONGENITAL DIAPHRAGMATIC HERNIA

This study tests a procedure called FETO (fetal endoscopic tracheal occlusion) in pregnant women whose babies have a severe form of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), where the diaphragm is missing or has a hole, causing the lungs to be underdeveloped. The procedure temporari…

This study follows 80 pregnant women whose babies have a severe form of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), a hole in the diaphragm that lets organs move into the chest and harms lung growth. Half will receive a fetal surgery called FETO, which temporarily blocks the windpipe …

This study looks at whether placing a temporary balloon in the windpipe of unborn babies with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) can help their lungs develop and reduce dangerous high blood pressure in the lungs after birth. About 80 pregnant women carrying babies with …

This study tests a procedure called FETO for unborn babies with a severe form of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), where the diaphragm has a hole and the lungs are too small. Doctors place a tiny balloon in the baby's windpipe to trap fluid and help the lungs grow before bir…

This study tests a procedure called FETO for unborn babies with a severe form of left congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), where the diaphragm has a hole and the lungs are underdeveloped. The procedure involves placing a small balloon in the baby's windpipe to block fluid flow,…

This study tests a procedure called FETO, where a tiny balloon is placed in the baby's windpipe while still in the womb, to help the lungs grow in babies with severe left congenital diaphragmatic hernia. About 10 pregnant women carrying a baby with this condition will be enrolled…

This study tests a procedure called FETO, where a tiny balloon is placed in the windpipe of a fetus with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The goal is to see if this helps more babies survive to leave the hospital. The study will enroll 15 pregnant people carrying a b…

This study tests a procedure called FETO for babies with a severe diaphragmatic hernia, where organs move into the chest and crowd the lungs. A tiny balloon is placed in the baby's windpipe while still in the womb to help the lungs grow. The study involves 10 pregnant women and f…

This study looks at whether not using inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) right after birth helps babies with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), a rare birth defect where the diaphragm doesn't form properly. About 600 newborns across multiple hospitals will be studied to see if avoidi…

This study tests a procedure called FETO for fetuses with a severe form of congenital diaphragmatic hernia, where the lungs are underdeveloped. The procedure involves placing a balloon in the fetus's windpipe to encourage lung growth. Researchers will enroll 20 pregnant participa…

This study looks at two natural amino acids, arginine and ADMA, in newborns who have abdominal surgery within their first five days of life. Researchers want to see if the balance of these amino acids can help predict how quickly babies recover and if they have complications. No …

This study aims to find the genes that make a baby more likely to be born with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), a hole in the muscle that separates the chest from the belly. Researchers will collect DNA samples from 3,000 people with CDH and their families to look for gen…

This study aims to better understand how hard it is for children with certain muscle, lung, or heart conditions to breathe. Researchers will use a thin tube to measure pressure in the chest and stomach in 550 children under 18. The goal is to learn more about breathing problems s…
