Fetal balloon surgery tested to save babies with severe lung defect

NCT ID NCT03980717

Summary

This study is testing a fetal surgery called FETO to see if it helps babies with a severe form of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). CDH is a birth defect where organs push into the chest, preventing the lungs from developing properly. Researchers will place a tiny balloon in the baby's windpipe before birth to help the lungs grow, then compare outcomes to babies who do not have the procedure.
