OBJECTIVE
This study was a pilot trial to determine safety and feasibility of intracoronary infusion of mononuclear bone marrow cells (MBMC) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI).
BACKGROUND
Studies reporting the effect of MBMC therapy on improvement of left ventricular (LV) function
During the last decennium, the role of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMC) has been underscored in the healing process after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Although these cells improve left ventricular recovery after AMI in experimental studies, results from large-scale randomised trials
BACKGROUND
Preclinical studies have consistently shown that erythropoietin (EPO), administered after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), reduces infarct size and improves left ventricular function. Furthermore, EPO promotes endothelial progenitor cell growth, which increases angiogenesis. A recent
OBJECTIVE
Previous trials that investigated cell therapy as an adjunctive therapy after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have shown conflicting results. We designed a randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of intracoronary infusion of mononuclear cells from bone marrow (BM) or
BACKGROUND
Recently, several preliminary reports have demonstrated that cell transplantation after acute myocardial infarction in humans is safe and leads to better preserved left ventricular function and improved myocardial perfusion and coronary flow reserve.
METHODS
The HEBE trial is a
OBJECTIVE
In the present substudy of the Hebe trial, we investigated the effect of intracoronary bone marrow mononuclear cell (BMMC) and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) therapy on the recovery of microcirculation in patients with reperfused ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
