First seen Feb 06, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study looks at whether placing a temporary balloon in the windpipe of unborn babies with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) can help their lungs develop and reduce dangerous high blood pressure in the lungs after birth. Researchers will compare 40 babies who get the procedure with 40 who do not, following them for up to two years. The goal is to see if the balloon treatment leads to better survival and resolution of lung hypertension by age one.
