Perinatologists.: If you have had a consultation with fetal interventionists and maternal-fetal medicine specialists along with neonatologists, and they all advise against pleuroamniotic shunting (needle procedure with stent placement), then the next things you can do include seeking second opinion in a large referral center and delivering at a hospital with nicu and pediatric anesthesiology and pediatric surgery.
