Abstract
In a fetus, congential cystic adenomatoid malformations (CCAM) are often large, can cause mediastinal shift and compression of adjacent lung parenchyma ultimately leading to lung hypoplasia, hydrops and intra-uterine death. Traditionally, thoracoamniotic shunts are created using a Trocar technique. We will describe a novel trans-abdominal, trans-uterine Seldinger based percutaneous approach to create a shunt for treatment of CCAMs.
