Changes in the Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor after Fetal Tracheal Occlusion in an Experimental Model of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

Table 3

Fetal weight, lung weight, and lung-to-fetal ratio of fetuses with CDH divided into two groups—tracheal occlusion and no tracheal occlusion.

	Tracheal occlusion (𝑛=6)	No tracheal occlusion (𝑛=26)	P
Fetal weight (mean)	3.40 g ± 0.28	4.46 g ± 0.29	0.01
Lung weight (mean)	0.020 g ± 0.04	0.031 g ± 0.06	0.08
Lung weight/fetal weight	0.0061 ± 0.00	0.0072 ± 0.06	0.50
