Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal occlusion (FETO) has demonstrated neonatal survival and pulmonary hypertension (PH) benefits in patients with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). This study describes early childhood outcomes of patients treated with FETO compared to a contemporary cohort of non-FETO patients. METHODS: A single center, retrospective cohort study evaluated patients with a prenatal diagnosis of isolated severe left CDH at a single center from September 2016 through January 2023. Severe CDH was defined as liver herniation with an ultrasound observed/expected lung-to-head ratio
