First seen Jan 30, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study tests a procedure called FETO for babies diagnosed with a severe form of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), where organs move into the chest and crowd the lungs. Doctors place a tiny balloon in the baby's windpipe while still in the womb to help the lungs grow. The study will follow 15 babies to see if more survive to leave the hospital, and track their health up to age 2.
