OC224: Fetal positron emission tomography during acute hypoxia and after fetoscopic coagulation of major placental vessels

Abstract: Accurate prediction of the likelihood of survival shortly after fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal occlusion (FETO) for the treatment of severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) might help some parents decide whether to continue or terminate a pregnancy. We evaluated differences in fractional moving blood volume (FMVB) of the lung in fetuses with CDH treated with FETO, and their association with outcome.
