HLHS Program is now able to collect and store umbilical cord blood Feb 27, 2017 | By Suzanne Ferguson (@suzannerferguson)Comment receiving replies
My son is 9 years old with HLHS, he was born with Critical Airtic Stenosis and we did save his cord blood at birth and would love more information on the subject.

Hi, @christinekelly. This current study requires the umbilical cord blood to be processed in a specific manner to create highly concentrated stem cells so the option of transferring it would not be possible. That being said, there’s always the possibility that this could change in the future. Please don't hesitate to email us at HLHS@mayo.edu if you'd like to discuss this in more detail. Thanks!
