Randomized trial of fetal surgery for severe left diaphragmatic hernia. N Engl J Med. 2021;385(2):107-118; doi: https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa2027030Google Scholar Investigators from multiple international institutions conducted an open-label randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of fetal endoluminal tracheal obstruction (FETO) in fetuses with severe pulmonary hypoplasia secondary to left-sided diaphragmatic hernia. With FETO, a balloon is inserted into the trachea of an affected fetus prior to 30 weeks’ gestation and inflated; the balloon is deflated at a later point. The study was conducted at 10 FETO centers and 26 NICUs in multiple countries. Women >18 years old with a fetus with a left diaphragmatic hernia and severe pulmonary hypoplasia (fetal lung-to-head ratio <25% of predicted based on gestational age) who were <33 weeks, 6 days gestation...
