This might extend the use to fetal development.
This seems to be a new mechanism, since it is currently being used to improve blood circulation within an infant, but in this new case, helping a fetus receive vital nutrition, critically, without harming the mother.
As such, it might be a bombshell.

“An inadequate supply of nutrients forces the fetus to adapt, down-regulate growth and prioritize the development of essential tissues. Adaptations include preferential blood flow to the brain and reduced flow to the abdominal viscera, altered body composition (reduced muscle mass) and reduced secretion of and sensitivity to the fetal growth hormones (insulin-like growth hormone and insulin). These adaptations enhance immediate survival but may carry a long-term price.”
