Summary

The objectives of this pilot study are to evaluate the feasibility and safety of intramyocardial injection of autologous c-kit+ cells during the Stage II Bidirectional Cavopulmonary Anastomosis (BDCPA) operation and to observe effects on clinical outcome including right ventricular myocardial function, severity of tricuspid regurgitation, incidence of serious adverse events, re-hospitalizations, changes in health status, the need for transplantation, or mortality.

c-kit+ cells

The autologous c-kit+ cells will be harvested from participant's right atrial tissue obtained from participant's SOC Norwood Operation. The harvested c-kit+ cells containing up to a total of 12,500 cells/kg will be delivered through 6-10 intramyocardial injections of approximately 100uL per injection for a total volume of approximately 0.6 mL.
