Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA-IVS) is a rare congenital heart defect characterized by underdeveloped pulmonary valve and right ventricular hypoplasia. Neonates undergoing surgery to open pulmonary valve have a range of post-surgical ventricular recovery: single-ventricle (1v) palliation, one-and-half ventricle (1.5v) palliation, and bi-ventricular (2v) repair. PA-IVS-1.5v typically requires surgical intervention to install cavopulmonary shunt and entails partial right ventricle recovery. NCHi016-A is an iPSC line derived from a 5-year-old female with PA-IVS-1.5v using Sendai Virus reprogramming. This iPSC line shows typical iPSC morphology, has normal karyotype, expresses pluripotency markers, and has potential to differentiate into three germ layers.
