Evaluation of the Auryzon™ EAR 2.0 System in Ear Reconstruction
This study aims to improve surgical outcomes for children and young adults with ear differences severe secondary to congenital conditions (like microtia, a condition where the ear is underdeveloped), trauma (such as dog bites), or surgical resections secondary to skin cancer. The investigators have developed a novel medical device to …
Institution of an Italian Registry and Biobank for Biological Sample Collection
Lymphatic malformations (ML), are benign non-neoplastic, rare, resulting from an embryologic abnormal development of the lymphatic system. Sometimes they may be associated with other vascular malformations (venous or arterial)1,2. ML usually appear at birth, in early childhood or during the first years of life (congenital vs. acquired) and are mainly …
Effectiveness of a Psychosocial Support Intervention for Women Diagnosed With Fetal Anomaly
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a psychosocial support intervention for women diagnosed with fetal anomaly. A randomized controlled trial design will be used, and women diagnosed with fetal anomaly will be included as participants. The intervention group will receive a structured psychosocial support program, while the control …
High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation Versus High Frequency Jet Ventilation for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
The purpose of this study is to conduct a prospective study of all congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) neonates managed at the University of Utah newborn intensive care unit (NICU) and Primary Children's Hospital NICU that required mechanical ventilation at birth. As both high frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) and high frequency …
Fetal Endoscopic Tracheal Occlusion (FETO) for Severe Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
The purpose of the study is to study the efficacy of fetal endoscopic tracheal occlusion (FETO) in cases of severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). This study will also collect safety and effectiveness data for the off-label use of the FETO Goldballoon (the balloon that will be inserted into the fetal …
Fetal Endotracheal Occlusion (FETO) in the Resolution of Pulmonary Hypertension in Fetuses With Severe CDH
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) occurs when the diaphragm fails to fully fuse and leaves a portal through which abdominal structures can migrate into the thorax. In the more severe cases, the abdominal structures remain in the thoracic cavity and compromise the development of the lungs. Infants born with this defect …
Trial of FETO for Severe Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
This is a single site pilot trial to study the feasibility of Fetoscopic Endoluminal Tracheal Occlusion (FETO) therapy in the most severe group of fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago (Lurie Children's). This procedure aims to increase fetal lung volume …
Fetoscopic Endoluminal Tracheal Occlusion
The purpose of this research study is to see if the FETO surgery and FETO release (surgery to remove the device) works and is safe for babies with severe right or left Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). CDH is a condition in which a hole in the baby's diaphragm allows the …
Pilot Trial of Fetoscopic Endoluminal Tracheal Occlusion (FETO) in Severe Left Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH)
Despite advances in prenatal diagnosis and postnatal therapies, including ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation), inhaled nitric oxide therapy, and ventilator strategies that minimize ventilator-induced lung injury, morbidity and mortality rates for babies with severe CDH remain high. The rationale for fetal therapy in severe CDH is to promote adequate lung growth …
Smart Removal for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the ability to prenatally deflate and to evaluate the safety of the Smart-TO device for fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal occlusion (FETO) in fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia and moderate to severe pulmonary hypoplasia.
