Left Heart Structures in Human Neonates with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia and the Effect of Fetal Endoscopic Tracheal Occlusion

Abstract

Left heart structures and LPA were larger postnatally in patients with CDH who underwent FETO than in those who did not. Hemodynamic alterations are introduced with tracheal occlusion that are associated with alterations in ventricular loading and may influence growth.
