• A Prospective Study of Patients with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome Following Stage II Surgical Palliation Rochester, Minn.

  The purpose of this study is to determine the change in health outcomes and cardiac structure and function of subjects with HLHS following successful separation from cardiopulmonary bypass and reversal of anticoagulation at the time of elective Stage II Glenn surgical palliation.

• Phase I Safety and Feasibility Study of Intracoronary Delivery of Autologous Bone Marrow Derived Mononuclear Cells for Systemic, Single Right Ventricular Failure Due to Congenital Heart Disease Rochester, Minn.

  The objective of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of autologous mononuclear cells (MNC) collected from bone marrow (BM) and intracoronary delivery for individuals with declining ventricle systemic pumps. This procedure has the potential to foster a new strategy for congenital heart patients. This is an open-label study of autologous MNC derived from bone marrow with a 2-year follow-up to document 1) related serious adverse events and 2) monitor changes in cardiac structure and function.

• Phase I Safety and Feasibility Study of Intramyocardial Delivery of Autologous Bone Marrow Derived Mononuclear Cells to Right Ventricle of Patients With Ebstein Anomaly During Cardiac Surgery Rochester, Minn.

  The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of autologous mononuclear cells (MNC) collected from bone marrow (BM) delivered into the myocardium of the right ventricle of subjects with Ebstein anomaly undergoing surgical Ebstein repair. Additionally, the potential cardiovascular benefits will also be evaluated. This add-on procedure is anticipated to pose little risk to the subject and has the potential to foster a new strategy that leverages the regenerative capacity of individuals with congenital heart disease during the surgically mandated Ebstein repair.

• Phase I Safety Study of Autologous Umbilical Cord Blood Derived Mononuclear Cells During Surgical Stage II Palliation of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome Rochester, Minn.

  This is a Phase I study to determine the safety and feasibility of injections of autologous umbilical cord blood (UCB) cells into the right ventricle of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) children undergoing a scheduled Glenn surgical procedure. The investigators are doing this research study to find out if autologous stem cells from the individual's own umbilical cord blood can be used to strengthen the muscle of the right side of their heart. This will help determine the safety and feasibility of using cell-based regenerative therapy as an additional treatment for the management of HLHS.
