Fetal balloon surgery tested to save babies with severe breathing defect
NCT ID NCT03980717
Summary
This study is testing whether a fetal surgery called FETO can help babies with a severe form of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). CDH is a birth defect where a hole in the diaphragm allows abdominal organs to push into the chest, preventing the lungs from developing properly. Researchers will place a tiny balloon in the baby's windpipe while still in the womb to help the lungs grow, then compare outcomes to babies who do not receive the procedure, focusing on whether it helps resolve high blood pressure in the lungs by age one.
