Balloon tracheal occlusion for congenital diaphragmatic hernia: experimental studies.
J Pediatr Surg. 2000; (11): 1566-70
Temporary tracheal occlusion is an effective strategy to enlarge fetal lungs, but the optimal technique to accomplish occlusion is unknown. External clips are effective when applied fetoscopically (Fetendo clip), but require a difficult fetal neck dissection. This study was undertaken to assess the feasibility of intratracheal balloon occlusion, revisiting the internal occlusion strategy.
