Balloon in the womb: new hope for babies with a rare birth defect
NCT ID NCT05450653
First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study tests a procedure called FETO, where a tiny balloon is placed in the windpipe of a fetus with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The balloon blocks the airway temporarily, which helps the lungs grow larger before birth. The goal is to improve the baby's chance of survival after delivery. Ten pregnant women will be enrolled to see if the balloon can be safely placed and removed.
