چکیده
Evaluation of: Williams AR, Trachtenberg B, Velazquez DL et al. Intramyocardial stem cell injection in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy: functional recovery and reverse remodeling. Circ. Res. 108, 792-796 (2011). Transcatheter, intramyocardial injections of bone marrow-derived cells produce reverse remodeling in large animal models of ischemic cardiomyopathy. A variety of adult stem and progenitor cells from different sources have already been examined for their potential to promote cardiac repair and regeneration after myocardial infarction. This article reviews a recent study by Williams et al. who test the hypothesis that transcatheter, intramyocardial injections of autologous bone marrow progenitor cells (mononuclear or mesenchymal stem cells) in left ventricular scar and border zone improve regional contractility of a chronic myocardial scar and that these changes predict subsequent reverse remodeling. All patients tolerated the procedure with no serious adverse events. At 1 year, cardiac MRI demonstrated a decrease in end diastolic volume, a trend toward decreased end systolic volume, decreased infarct size and improved regional left ventricular function. This article focuses on the findings and limitations of the study and provides an insight for future promising clinical trials.

Intramyocardial and intracoronary autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cell treatment in chronic severe dilated cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND AIMS Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) may improve cardiac function following myocardial infarction. MSC can differentiate into cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells while exerting additional paracrine effects. There is limited information regarding the efficacy of route for MSC treatment of severe dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The aim of this study was to demonstrate the clinical safet...

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of death in the world. Current treatments have not been able to reverse this scenario, creating the need for the development of new therapies. Cell therapies have emerged as an alternative for cardiac diseases of distinct causes in experimental animal studies and more recently in clinical trials. METHOD/DESIGN We have designed clinical tr...

BACKGROUND Clinical studies have demonstrated that intracoronary or intramyocardial transplantation of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) into ischemic myocardium improves cardiac function. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of intramyocardial BMMNC transplantation into nongraftable areas in combination with off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting...

Regenerative treatment of dilated, non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy represents a significant unmet clinical need. Intracoronary administration of autologous bone marrow stem cells has demonstrated positive results in treatment of post-infarct and chronic ischaemic patients. Limitations of this procedure include: invasiveness of bone marrow extraction and cardiac catheterization, and dependence on s...
