Cardiac anatomy following the Norwood operation (stage I) and Glenn operation (stage II) for the palliation of HLHS. With one exception, all current trials of stem cell therapy for HLHS provide cell administration at the time of or shortly after the stage II or stage III operations (Fontan, not shown). Some trials (e.g., TICAP and PERSEUS) were designed around catheter-delivered cell preparations, while others (e.g., ELPIS) utilize direct intramyocardial cell injection as shown in the Glenn illustration.
