Topic overview
Right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (RCDH) is a rare and often fatal congenital anomaly, primarily attributed to lung hypoplasia, which is associated with small branch pulmonary artery (PA). This study investigated whether postnatal PA measurements obtained through echocardiography are associated with mortality or the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) requirement in neonates with RCDH.
