Summary

This study tests a procedure called FETO, where doctors place a tiny balloon in the windpipe of a fetus with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The balloon is removed before birth and is meant to help the lungs grow. The trial will compare survival and long-term health of 80 babies who get FETO versus those who receive standard care. It is for pregnant people 18+ carrying a single fetus with severe CDH and liver herniation.
