Abstract

Novel surgical strategies have dramatically improved the initial outcome of newborns with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. However, the single systemic right ventricle remains a major challenge, with limited effectiveness of pharmacologic therapy. The present case documents that the intracoronary administration of autologous bone marrow-derived progenitor cells is technically feasible in a critically ill infant with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and severe heart failure after a hybrid comprehensive stage II procedure. Cell therapy might represent an option before heart transplantation in children with single ventricle physiology presenting with severe heart failure. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
