• Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in Children with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome Who Underwent Delivery of Autologous Umbilical Cord Derived Mononuclear Cells During Cardiac Surgery: A Pilot Study Rochester, Minn.

  The purpose of this study is to assess neurodevelopmental and psychosocial outcomes (i.e., executive function, social cognition, psychosocial adjustment, adaptive skills) in children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) who underwent right-ventricle-directed delivery of autologous umbilical cord derived mononuclear cells during staged cardiac surgical palliation, and to compare their outcomes to a matched sample of children with HLHS who did not receive autologous umbilical cord derived mononuclear cells during surgery.
