  17. Safety as assessed by liver function (indicated by Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels) [ Time Frame: 7 days following the initial infusion ]
  18. Safety as assessed by liver function (indicated by aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels [ Time Frame: 7 days following the initial infusion ]

  21. Safety as assessed by blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels [ Time Frame: 7 days following the initial infusion ]
  22. Safety as assessed by creatinine levels [ Time Frame: 7 days following the initial infusion ]
  23. Safety as assessed by carbon dioxide (CO2) levels [ Time Frame: 7 days following the initial infusion ]
  24. Safety as assessed by glucose levels [ Time Frame: 7 days following the initial infusion ]
  25. Safety as assessed by serum chloride levels [ Time Frame: 7 days following the initial infusion ]
  26. Safety as assessed by serum potassium levels [ Time Frame: 7 days following the initial infusion ]
  27. Safety as assessed by serum sodium levels [ Time Frame: 7 days following the initial infusion ]
  28. Neurologic/neurodevelopmental status as assessed by intracranial abnormalities upon magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [ Time Frame: within 14 days of discharge (discharge occurs at about 2-4 months after birth) ]
  29. Neurologic/neurodevelopmental status as assessed by receipt of neurologic pharmacologic medications [ Time Frame: at the time of discharge (which is about 2-4 months after birth) ]
  30. Neurologic/neurodevelopmental status as assessed by Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-III (BSID-III) [ Time Frame: 2 years after birth ]
    The Bayley-III is an individually-administered examination that assesses the current developmental functioning of infants and young children from birth to 42 months of age. The Bayley is a standardized, norm-referenced measure that assesses development in Cognitive, Language and Motor domains. Composite standard scores can be derived that have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Mortality [ Time Frame: 2 years after birth ]
  2. Length of stay in hospital [ Time Frame: from birth to discharge or death, whichever occurs first (discharge occurs at about 2-4 months after birth) ]
  3. Progression of pulmonary hypertension as assessed by echocardiography [ Time Frame: within 24 hours of birth, prior to operative repair (occurs between day 2 & 14 of life), prior to discharge (usually 2-6 months), and after discharge (2wks-6 months following discharge) ]
  4. Duration of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support [ Time Frame: days from ECMO initiation until decannulation (an average of 3 weeks) ]
  5. Duration of ventilatory support [ Time Frame: from initiation of ventilation until extubation (an average of 8 weeks) ]
