First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether injecting a child's own heart stem cells during a planned surgery could help their heart work better. It involved 25 children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a condition where the left side of the heart is underdeveloped. The main goals were to see if the procedure was safe and possible, and to check for any improvements in heart function over a year.
