Fetal balloon procedure aims to save babies with severe lung condition
NCT ID NCT02710968
Summary
This study is testing a fetal surgery procedure called FETO to improve survival for babies with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Doctors temporarily place a tiny balloon in the baby's windpipe before birth to help the lungs grow. The goal is to see if this procedure helps more babies survive and reduces breathing problems after delivery.
