Prevalence of symptomatic tracheal morbidities after fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal occlusion: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Conclusion A significant proportion of FETO survivors have symptomatic tracheal morbidities of varying severity. Units that are planning to adopt FETO for managing CDH should consider ongoing surveillance of survivors to enable early identification of upper airway issues. Inventing FETO devices that minimise tracheal injury is needed.
