The Latest in Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Research

Below are just a few of the abstracts presented at the 2009 APSA Conference. We were fortunate enough to be able to attend as this new research data was presented. And equally as fortunate to be able to talk to many of the doctors who conducted this research.

As you read the following abstracts please remember that every CDH baby is different. This information is posted for education purposes only and does not reflect the potential outcome of any specific CDH case.
