A growing animal model for neonatal repair of large diaphragmatic defects to evaluate patch function and outcome.

A growing animal model for neonatal repair of large diaphragmatic defects to evaluate patch function and outcome.

OBJECTIVES:We aimed to develop a more representative model for neonatal congenital diaphragmatic hernia repair in a large animal model, by creating a large defect in a fast-growing pup, using functional pulmonary and diaphragmatic read outs. BACKGROUND:Grafts are increasingly used to repair congenit...
