SYSTEM AND METHOD OF TREATMENT FOR PREMATURE FETUS

Abstract: a system and method to deliver a medicant to a premature fetus in an extracorporeal environment. exemplary medicants include at least one selected from stem cells and modified genes. the system can include a chamber to enclose the fetus, a first fluid circuit including a source of a liquid, a pump configured to move the liquid, and a second fluid circuit including an oxygenator configured to transfer oxygen to the fetus. the umbilical cord of the fetus is connected to the second fluid circuit by attaching a first cannula connected to a vein of the umbilical cord, attaching a second cannula to a first artery of the umbilical cord, attaching a third cannula to a second artery of the umbilical cord, and connecting one or more of the first, second and third cannulae to the oxygenator via an oxygenation circuit.
