Cell-Based Treatment of Ischemic Heart Disease: Rationale for the Use of VEGF-Eluting Adult Progenitor Cells
Abstract:United States alone [4], heart failure is in need of new therapies to prevent, as well as reverse, cardiac arterial pathology and enhance cardiovascular regeneration. Herein is presented a concise review of the utility of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in angiogenesis and rationale for the use of VEGF-eluting stem cells in the treatment of ischemic disease.
