Womb surgery for rare birth defect: will it save more babies?

NCT ID NCT07564297

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study follows 80 babies with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) who had a special surgery called FETO while still in the womb. Researchers want to see if these babies survive to leave the hospital more often and have fewer long-term health issues compared to babies with similar CDH who did not have the surgery. The study will also track complications from the procedure and problems like high blood pressure in the lungs.
