First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a procedure called FETO for unborn babies with a severe diaphragmatic hernia, where organs move into the chest and harm lung growth. A tiny balloon is placed in the baby's windpipe around 27 weeks of pregnancy to help the lungs grow, then removed around 34 weeks. The study involves 10 pregnant women and focuses on whether the balloon can be safely placed and removed.
