Summary
This study tests a procedure called FETO for babies with a severe form of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), a birth defect where organs move into the chest and prevent the lungs from growing. The procedure involves placing a small balloon in the baby's windpipe while still in the womb to help the lungs grow before birth. The study enrolled 14 pregnant women and aims to see if the balloon can be safely placed and removed.
