- Abstract
Prenatal tracheal occlusion (TO) promotes lung growth and is applied clinically in fetuses with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Limited data are available regarding the effect of duration of TO on lung development. Our objective was to evaluate the effects of long (2 and 2.5 days) versus short (1 day) TO on lung development in rats with nitrofen-induced diaphragmatic hernia.
