Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether children and adolescents 8-18 years of age with HLHS and related lesions who have undergone stage I palliation during infancy using an allograft patch demonstrate continued evidence of HLA antibody formation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will be of a prospective cross-sectional design, consisting of three groups. The first two groups (study groups) will consist of (1) subjects with HLHS and other related lesions who have undergone stage I palliation using an allograft patch during infancy and (2) subjects with "single ventricle" lesions who have undergone stage II palliation using allograft without antecedent stage I palliation. The third group (control group) will consist of subjects who have undergone corrective or palliative surgery for CHD during infancy in which an allograft patch was not used, and in which there have been no further exposures to allograft. We have chosen to study both (1) subjects who have undergone stage I and II palliation and (2)subjects who have undergone stage II palliation only in an attempt to distinguish between sensitization that may occur from allograft exposure during stage I palliation and that which may occur during stage II palliation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Study group I

Study group I will include children who have undergone stage I palliation employing allograft material for left ventricular outflow tract reconstruction at CHOP during infancy (\<1 year of age). Stage I palliation is defined as an operation in which augmentation of the native ascending aorta and aortic arch is performed to bypass atresia or critical obstruction of the left heart structures.

No interventions assigned to this group

Study Group II

Study group II who have undergone stage II palliation in which allograft material is used, but have not undergone antecedent stage I palliation. Stage II palliation is defined as a superior cavopulmonary anastomosis in which the superior vena cava is anastomosed to the ipsilateral pulmonary artery via either the bidirectional Glenn or hemi-Fontan procedures.

No interventions assigned to this group

Control Group

The control group who have undergone palliative or corrective surgery for congenital heart disease during infancy (\<1 year of age) not requiring allograft material.

No interventions assigned to this group
