Thoracic-amniotic shunt in a hydropic fetus with a dominant hydrothorax.
The shunt was placed moments before this clip, and is in the process of draining the pleural effusion.
Color Doppler confirms active drainage.

📢 New Research Publication
I’m pleased to share that our multicentre, cluster-randomised controlled trial — the CEPRA study — has now been published online in The Lancet.
Cerebroplacental ratio-based management versus care as usual in non-small-for-gestational-age fetuses at term with maternal perceived reduced fetal movements (CEPRA)
This important study investigates whether incorporating cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) into clinical management can improve outcomes for pregnancies at term with reduced fetal movements, even when the fetus is appropriately grown.
I’m proud to contribute as a co-author to this collaborative effort involving multiple centres and a highly dedicated research team.
