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

Summary

This pilot study aims to learn more about a procedure called FETO for unborn babies with a severe form of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The researchers want to see if placing a balloon in the baby's windpipe before birth can help the lungs grow and improve survival. The study planned to enroll 10 pregnant women, but it was withdrawn before starting, so no results are available.
