Abstract

Background

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a congenital anomaly with high mortality and morbidity mainly due to pulmonary hypoplasia and hypertension. Temporary fetal tracheal occlusion to promote prenatal lung growth may ameliorate survival. Entrapment of lung fluid stretches the airways, leading to lung growth.

Methods

Fetal endoluminal tracheal occlusion (FETO) is performed by percutaneous sono-endoscopic insertion of a balloon developed for interventional radiology. Reversal of the occlusion to induce lung maturation can be performed by fetoscopy, transabdominal puncture, tracheoscopy, or by postnatal removal if all else fails.

Results

FETO and balloon removal accept been shown safety in experienced easily. This paper deals with the technical aspects of airship insertion and removal. While FETO is invasive, it has minimal maternal risks yet can cause preterm nativity potentially offsetting its beneficial effects.

Conclusion

For left-sided severe and moderate CDH, the process is considered investigational and is currently being evaluated in a global randomized clinical trial (https://www.totaltrial.eu/). The process can exist clinically offered to fetuses with severe correct-sided CDH.

Background

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a life-threatening condition affecting upwards to 3 in 10,000 live built-in babies [1]. The diaphragmatic defect allows abdominal organs to herniate into the thorax which prevents normal lung development. Depending on the side and size of the defect, this may be the liver, bowel, spleen, and/or breadbasket. The majority of defects are left sided (LCDH 85%). Thirteen percentage are right sided (RCDH), and bilateral defects or other forms occur very rarely. Associated anomalies are frequent and should exist ruled out past imaging and genetic testing as they independently influence survival and morbidity. In about registries currently, survival is approximately lxx% depending on the case mix and location of treatment [2]. Surviving patients may suffer from not only medium and long-term morbidity predominantly respiratory in nature, but also gastro-esophageal reflux, failure to thrive, and less common orthopedic or other issues.

Individualized prognosis of isolated CDH can exist fabricated prenatally past using the lung size, the presence of the liver in the thorax, and the side of the defect [3]. Patients with predicted poor prognosis can be offered experimental fetal therapy. To meliorate survival, the intervention should reverse pulmonary hypoplasia (i.eastward., stimulate lung growth) before birth. Historically, this was attempted by anatomical repair of the defect in utero. The results of this arroyo were suboptimal [iv]. Besides, the anatomic defect itself can be relatively hands managed afterward birth hence it is not the problem. An alternative strategy, based on the clinical observation that fetuses with laryngeal atresia have larger lungs, led to animal experiments that demonstrated that fetal tracheal occlusion reverses experimental pulmonary hypoplasia [5]. Tracheal occlusion leads to accumulation of lung fluid which in turn causes lung stretch. This activates a pathway that leads to proliferation and increased growth of the airways and pulmonary vessels, nicely summarized in the acronym PLUG: "Plug the Lung Until information technology Grows" (PLUG) [half-dozen]. Nonetheless, when the occlusion is maintained until nativity, the number of blazon II pneumocytes is abnormally low, leading to a relative surfactant deficiency [seven]. By reversing the tracheal apoplexy before birth, the residuum between type I and type II pneumocytes at birth is more optimal. This is captured in the concept "plug-unplug sequence," and reversal of occlusion is an important component in the fetal handling strategy [seven]. Nowadays, tracheal occlusion is uniquely performed by minimally invasive fetal endoluminal tracheal apoplexy (FETO) and performed under sono-endoscopic guidance. This is a percutaneous procedure in which a latex balloon is endoscopically positioned to a higher place the carina and inflated to occlude the trachea [8] (Fig. 1). The present paper describes the instrumentation and the technical aspects of the FETO procedure as currently performed by the in a higher place clinical enquiry consortium inside their clinical trial.

Methods

Selection of fetuses

CDH is typically diagnosed during mid-gestation on screening ultrasound. Post-obit the diagnosis (or suspicion thereof), patients are all-time referred to a 3rd heart where this condition is routinely managed subsequently birth. Patients will exist reassessed with targeted ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and will be offered genetic testing (today this is by micro-array assay) [nine]. This has two purposes, (1) to rule out associated structural or genetic anomalies, which themselves may worsen the prognosis dramatically and (2) to assess the severity of the pulmonary hypoplasia. This information is used to make a personalized prognosis and lead multidisciplinary counseling. Additional evaluation frequently reveals some elements of discordance with the initial assessment at the referring site and may well upshot in a changed perspective and dissimilar parental decisions [10]. Therefore, information technology is considered prudent to limit prognostic advice at first diagnosis.

In isolated cases, personalized prediction of outcome is based on measurements of lung size, liver position, and the side of the defect [eleven]. Although other characteristics are being investigated amongst which stomach position, pulmonary circulatory parameters, and cardiac ventricular size every bit additional prognostic indicators, the lung-to-caput-ratio (LHR) remains the best studied parameter for prediction. The lung contralateral to the lesion is measured in the standard aeroplane for a four-bedchamber view of the eye, and the head circumference is measured in a standard biparietal view (Fig. 2a, b) [12]. The nearly authentic way of measuring the lung is by tracing its outline [13]. The LHR measured in the index example (observed) is expressed as a percent (o/due east LHR; %) of what one would expect in a normal fetus at a similar gestational age (expected). MRI is now well-nigh ubiquitously used in tertiary centers for evaluation of congenital anomalies. In CDH cases, MRI allows for volumetric measurement of both lungs, the power to quantitate the degree of liver herniation, and a detailed assessment of tum position. And so far, fetal MRI lung volumetry in CDH does non provide improved outcome prediction over ultrasound; hence, we do non use information technology for decisions regarding FETO. The predictive value of imaging methods in terms of pulmonary hypertension or extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation needs is currently under review [14].

Fetuses from singleton pregnancies with a predicted poor postnatal outcome are the target grouping for fetal intervention. The o/east LHR, presence of the liver in the thorax, and the side of the defect are used so stratify these fetuses [15] (Fig. 2c, d). Babies born across 30 weeks with a left-sided CDH, a herniated liver, and an o/e LHR < 25% who are managed with standard post-natal therapy accept a survival charge per unit that is < 20% [11]. These parameters were therefore used to define that group of fetuses with astringent pulmonary hypoplasia, and they formed the initial study population for prenatal therapy. Despite encouraging early feel with FETO [xvi], fetal surgery for isolated CDH is nonetheless considered experimental. Patients with a fetus who has an isolated LCDH and severe lung hypoplasia are currently beingness offered participation in a global randomized clinical trial (https://www.totaltrial.eu/) comparing outcomes of FETO to expectant management during pregnancy, followed by standardized postnatal therapy [17]. In a second experimental arm to this trial, patients with a CDH fetus with moderate pulmonary hypoplasia (which has a l% or greater survival rate) are randomized to FETO or expectant management, in an effort to reduce oxygen dependency at half-dozen months of historic period. For RCDH, fetal therapy is offered in case of severe hypoplasia (o/e LHR < 45%) because they have a predicted survival charge per unit of 17%. For patients who accept a more complex presentation with boosted findings, a more individualized approach can be taken, all the same in the absence of proof of benefit, this is debatable[eighteen, xix].

FETO or PLUG procedure

FETO was initially performed at 24–28 weeks merely in cases of severe CDH and under epidural anesthesia. Today, the procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia at 27–29 weeks with conscious sedation optional, yet loco-regional tin can be done when clinically required. In moderate cases, FETO is done at 30–32 weeks. We utilise safe tocolysis (atosiban or alternatively indomethacin or nifedipine) and antibiotics (cefazolin 2 g i.five. 8 hourly) until 24 h after the process. The patient is positioned in a dorsal supine position (with lateral tilt to prevent caval compression) such that in that location is straight access to the fetal rima oris. External fetal manipulation may be required. Once in the appropriate position, we administer pancuronium (0.2 mg/kg) or equivalent, atropine (xx μg/kg), and fentanyl (fifteen μg/kg) intra-muscularly through a 22 Chiliad needle to the fetus to provide analgesia, immobilization, and prophylaxis against bradycardia. Later sterile draping, the insertion trajectory is infiltrated with local anesthesia (lidocaine 1% 10–20 mL). A skin-incision is made and a disposable flexible 10 Fr cannula (iii.3 mm; RCF 10.0 Check-Flo Performer, Melt, Bloomington, IN) loaded with a pyramidal trocar (11650TG, Karl Storz, Tutlingen, Germany) is inserted into the amniotic cavity under ultrasound guidance, in an area devoid of placenta and as perpendicular as possible to the nose tip (Additional file one: Video S1; Fig. 3). Some introduce the cannula using the Seldinger technique [twenty].

The fetoscope is a 1.three-mm cobweb optic endoscope (11540AA, Karl Storz) housed within a curved 3.three-mm sheath (11540KE; Karl Storz) with a commitment catheter (Baltacci-BDPE-100 0.9 mm; Balt, Montmorency, France) that is loaded with a detachable inflatable latex airship with integrated one-way valve (Goldbal2). These are used "off-label" as they were originally designed for endovascular occlusion. The inflated airship accommodates for an increasing tracheal diameter during pregnancy. A stylet (11506P; Karl Storz) and grasping forceps (11510C, Karl Storz) are available to puncture and remove the balloon should it be incorrectly positioned (Fig. 4). We flush warmed crystalloid (Hartmann's solution or Ringer's Lactate) through the fetoscope sheath in order to distend the larynx, clear the debris, and improve vision.

Total size paradigm

Landmarks for airship insertion are progressively the tip of the nose, philtrum, tongue, the raphe of the palate, uvula, epiglottis, and ultimately the song cords (Additional file 2: Video S2; Fig. 5). The fetoscope is advanced into the trachea until the carina is visualized, or if that is not possible, at least to a point where the tracheal rings and pars membranacea tin be positively identified. The balloon is then advanced out of the fetoscope, positioned between the cords and the carina, and inflated with 0.half-dozen mL of isotonic saline. Once inflated, the balloon is detached (Additional file three: Video S3; Fig. 6a). Finally, excessive amniotic or irrigation fluid is drained until a normal book is achieved. In our initial experience, the median duration of FETO was 10 min (range 3–93 min). Operating time depends mainly on operator experience and on the position of the fetus and is directly related to the risk of chorionic membrane separation and amniorrhexis.

Follow-up

Patients are followed with ultrasound every 1 to 2 weeks until the preset fourth dimension for reversal of the apoplexy. The fetus is evaluated for growth, motility, general wellbeing and routine antenatal care, and the cervical length is measured to estimate the risk for preterm nascency. Amniotic fluid book is measured to exclude polyhydramnios as this is common in CDH and tin can increase the risk of amniorrhexis and/or preterm labor. Amniodrainage is performed when the deepest vertical pool exceeds 12 cm. The membranes are inspected for amnion-chorion membrane separation. At each visit, the balloon is visualized since spontaneous deflation has been described [21]. The tracheal balloon appears on ultrasound as a hypoechoic fluid-filled construction without colour Doppler menses and positioned just beneath the vocal cords between the common carotid arteries (Fig. 6b). Within a calendar week post-obit FETO, the fetal lung in responders becomes hyperechogenic. The parenchymal dimensional changes are quantified via the o/e LHR or MRI. Book changes precede the vascular response. In case of amniorrhexis or preterm labor, the patients are admitted and management is individually planned for timely and safe airship removal. Chorioamnionitis is the most common complication of membrane rupture and may mandate balloon removal and delivery. Antepartum hemorrhage has been described even so is in our experience uncommon [21].

UNPLUG or balloon removal

Our policy is to remove the balloon in utero even if delivery is imminent. It triggers lung maturation, increases survival chances, reduces morbidity [22, 23], and permits vaginal delivery. Removal of the balloon is scheduled at 34 weeks gestational historic period based on observations in sheep. In 28% of cases, balloon removal will exist indicated earlier because of impending delivery [23]. Steroids are given to enhance lung maturation. The removal takes place in essentially the same preparation as described in a higher place for balloon placement, with the aforementioned fetal and maternal medications. The balloon can exist punctured straight using a 20-22G needle under ultrasound guidance and in our experience is expulsed spontaneously. (Boosted file 4: Video S4). In such cases, tracheal patency can be confirmed by sit-in of tracheal fluid motility with Doppler (Additional file 5: Video S5), change in tracheal diameter, or by MRI. The balloon can also exist fetoscopically removed, which provides straight visualization of unobstructed airways (Additional file vi: Video S6). In the event that fetoscopic in utero removal is not possible, we resort to tracheoscopic removal (Table 1 for instruments) with the baby on placental apportionment under loco-regional anesthesia (Fig. 7 and Additional file seven: Video S7). The fetal head and shoulders are delivered and straight laryngo-tracheoscopy is performed. In the worst (and not desirable) scenario, postnatal puncture from above the manubrium sterni is used, with or without ultrasound guidance, or by tracheoscopy. In a report on 302 cases, 67% of airship removals were past fetoscopy, 21% by puncture, and 10% past tracheoscopy on placental circulation, and 1% ex utero [23]. In that written report, the technique used appeared to be dictated mainly by operator preference. In that location was no deviation in gestational age at delivery whether the balloon was punctured or removed by fetoscopy. The importance of immediate availability of trained and experienced operators who tin remove a FETO balloon chop-chop and safely cannot, and must non, be underestimated. To our knowledge, the just neonatal deaths directly due to balloon removal difficulties that have occurred happened when delivery took place in an unprepared and/or inexperienced environs [23].

Reported adverse events and side effects with FETO are rare. Fetal tracheomegaly is a recognized entity that usually presents as a barking cough on endeavor and and so resolves over time with minimal long-term implications. At that place are a few neonates who accept had significant long-term tracheal problems, and these announced to have been related to traumatic balloon removal or early on insertion < 26 weeks [24]. This is however an aspect that requires more detailed and long-term follow-up. The main maternal-fetal complication is that of chorionic membrane separation and PPROM with resultant preterm nascence. Although the median gestational historic period at birth is 35 weeks, upwardly to one in three patients deliver prior to 34 weeks, potentially offsetting the effect of the fetal intervention.

Results

To engagement, the published data are predominantly based on observational trials and small case series [eight]. At that place is one randomized controlled trial [25, 26] that showed benefit of FETO; however, in that study all deliveries were by EXIT procedure, there was a case mix of right and left CDH, and the methodology was substantially unlike to what is currently beingness practiced in Europe and the USA.

Compared to historical controls of similar severity, FETO increases survival rate from 24 to 49% in LCDH with o/eLHR < 25% and from 17 to 42% in RCDH with o/eLHR < 45% [21, 26] (Fig. 2c, d). FETO also seems to reduce early on neonatal respiratory morbidity.

Give-and-take

This potential do good is now being investigated in two parallel randomized clinical trials (RCT) "Tracheal Apoplexy To Advance Lung growth" (https://www.totaltrial.eu/), in fetuses with LCDH and either severe or moderate lung hypoplasia (NCT01240057 and NCT00763737). Electric current fetal treatment centers are in Leuven, Kingdom of belgium; Paris, France; London, UK; Barcelona, Spain; Milan and Rome, Italy; Bonn, Germany; Toronto, Canada; Brisbane, Australia; and Houston, Texas, U.s.. These centers have a high volume fetoscopy program, completed a minimum learning bend of xv FETO procedures, and committed to strict adherence to a prenatal and postnatal direction protocol. The trial has recruited at the time of writing over 165 (moderate) and over 50 (severe) patients. Results are expected within the next 2 years at the electric current recruitment rate (moderate). We anticipate that more centers in the U.s. and in Nihon will exist joining the task strength which may accelerate recruitment.

Conclusions

FETO may modify the natural history of built diaphragmatic hernia, and early clinical results await promising. Information technology is hoped that the ongoing TOTAL trial will upshot in proof of do good. FETO is an invasive technique associated with a significantly increased risk for preterm birth which potentially tempers its benefits. The procedure requires specific skills and instrumentation and permanent services and is at present express to a select group of centers. If proven effective, this procedure is likely to be implemented more widely and appropriate dissemination will require an extensive preparation program and careful oversight in order to ensure safe implementation.
