Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Tracheal occlusion IDE approved by FDA for congenital diaphragmatic hernia fetuses.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Device: Fetal Tracheal Occlusion
N/A

Detailed Description

Fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia with liver-up, and an observed to expected lung-to-head ratio of <25%, LHR <1, or a moderate category with o/e LHR <30%, singleton pregnancy, no known other anomalies, gestational age < 29 weeks 6 days (severe), gestational age < 31 weeks 6 days (moderate), no maternal disease, maternal age > 18 years old…. meet criteria to be offered fetal tracheal occlusion. We want to test feasibility and efficacy in our center.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Fetal Tracheal Occlusion

Fetuses with severe or moderate congenital diaphragmatic hernia will be offered fetal tracheal occlusion to increase lung growth.

Device: Fetal Tracheal Occlusion
Fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia with an observed to expected lung-to-head ratio of <25%, LHR <1, o/e LHR<30% (moderate), singleton pregnancy, no known other anomalies, gestational age < 29 weeks 6 days, no maternal disease, maternal age > 18 years old meet criteria to be offered tracheal occlusion. We want to test feasibility and efficacy in our center as a requirement to enter the TOTAL trial.
