Fetoscopic tracheal occlusion (FETO) for severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia: evolution of a technique and preliminary results

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) with liver herniation and a lung area to head circumference ratio (LHR) > 1 is associated with a high rate of neonatal death due to pulmonary hypoplasia.
