Standardized Postnatal Care (Expectant)
Mothers will be expectantly managed during pregnancies and babies receive standardized postnatal care at a tertiary center used to manage babies with CDH. The recommendation is that they adhere to consensus guidelines published on the study website. Standardized postnatal care: After birth, the babies will receive standardized postnatal care at a tertiary center used to manage babies with CDH. The recommendation is that they adhere to consensus guidelines published on the study website. For detailed description on this please visit https://www.karger.com/Article/Abstract/320622
Prenatal Intervention (FETO)
Patients will undergo fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal occlusion and ideally prenatal reversal of the occlusion followed by standardized postnatal care as in the expectant . In this study FETO (where GoldBal2 detachable balloon and Baltaccidbpe100 Delivery Catheter are used) is to be done between 30 weeks plus 0 day and 31 weeks plus 6 days and removal of the balloon at 34 weeks plus 0 day to 34 weeks plus 6 days. GoldBal2 detachable balloon: Placement of the balloon using the plug/unplug method. Baltaccidbpe100 Delivery Catheter: The catheter assists with implanting the balloon in the plug/unplug method. Standardized postnatal care: After birth, the babies will receive standardized postnatal care at a tertiary center used to manage babies with CDH. The recommendation is that they adhere to consensus guidelines published on the study website. For detailed description on this please visit https://www.karger.com/Article/Abstract/320622

Timeframe: at 6 months of age

Population: As-treated ('per protocol') analysis. 1 patient in the expectant management arm died and is excluded from this analysis. 1 patient from the FETO arm withdrew prior to receiving the FETO procedure and is excluded from this analysis.

Measured as FiO2 (oxygen) amount required as a grade (0-III) with Grade 0 indicating the best outcome and Grade III indicating the worst outcome. Grade 0 = No Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD); Grade I = FiO2 21% or room air; Grade II = FiO2 22-29%; Grade III = FiO2 \>29%, CPAP or mechanical ventilation.

Prenatal Intervention (FETO)
n=2 Participants
Patients will undergo fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal occlusion and ideally prenatal reversal of the occlusion followed by standardized postnatal care as in the expectant . In this study FETO (where GoldBal2 detachable balloon and Baltaccidbpe100 Delivery Catheter are used) is to be done between 30 weeks plus 0 day and 31 weeks plus 6 days and removal of the balloon at 34 weeks plus 0 day to 34 weeks plus 6 days. GoldBal2 detachable balloon: Placement of the balloon using the plug/unplug method. Baltaccidbpe100 Delivery Catheter: The catheter assists with implanting the balloon in the plug/unplug method. Standardized postnatal care: After birth, the babies will receive standardized postnatal care at a tertiary center used to manage babies with CDH.
