Abstract

The effectiveness of intracoronary and intramyocardial delivery of autologous bone marrow stem cells (ABMSC) in patients with non-acute ischemic heart disease still remains unclear.

Methods: Autologous transplantation of bone marrow stem cells was performed in 80 patients. In 70 patients ABMSC were injected intracoronary during coronary angiography. Intramyocardial delivery was used in 8 patients as adjunctive therapy to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and in 2 patients - intracoronary during angioplasty.

Results: Patients were followed for 3-24 months. We observed clinical improvement in 63 patients. A significant reduction in the number of angina episodes and nitroglycerin consumption was noted. Single-photon emission computer tomography (SPECT) study revealed significant improvements in the previously non- or hypoperfused myocardium. Positron emission tomography scanning demonstrated improvement in myocardial viability. Echocardiography revealed dimension of end-diastolic and end-systolic volume of left ventricle (LV) and augmentation of global LV ejection fraction in patients with previously dilated LV. Five patients died. 2 patients had only clinical improvement without changing in SPECT study.

Conclusions: autologous bone marrow cell therapy is a feasible, safe and useful approach for the restoration of damaged myocardium as adjunctive therapy to CABG, coronary angioplasty or medical treatment for human ischemic heart disease.
