,Abstract
Rationale: Pulmonary hypoplasia and hypertension are the main problems in
newborns with isolated congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The outcome
can be prenatally predicted by the measurement of contralateral lung size.
Prenatal evaluation of lung vasculature has been much less investigated, and
there are no data on the ability to predict pulmonary hypertension.
Objective: To predict neonatal survival and pulmonary hypertension by
measurement of fetal pulmonary artery reactivity to maternal hyperoxygenation
in fetuses with severe CDH treated by fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal occlusion
(FETO).
Methods: 38 fetuses underwent FETO around 28 wks and the balloon was
removed at 34 weeks. We performed a hyperoxygenation test and measured the
lung-to-head ratio before and after each procedure. Outcome measures were
neonatal survival, occurrence of pulmonary hypertension and its response to
inhaled-NO (iNO)
Results : Fetuses who survived had a larger increase in lung size and decrease of
resistance in the first branch of the main pulmonary artery, than those who died.
Both measures were also predictive of pulmonary hypertension unresponsive to
iNO. The hyperoxygenation test and lung-to-head-ratio were both best predictive
for neonatal survival when measured following balloon removal (p<0.002).
Discriminant analysis confirmed that these two parameters are independent
predictors of outcome.

, Conclusions: In fetuses undergoing FETO, pulmonary vascular reactivity in
relation to oxygen and lung size are independent predictors of neonatal survival,
and pulmonary hypertension. The hyperoxygenation test merits further study in
