Intramyocardial Angiogenic Cell Precursor Injection for Cardiomyopathy

Abstract: Stem cell therapy for heart failure is a rapidly progressing field. The objective of this study was to assess the safety, and short-term results of thoracoscopic direct injection of angiogenic cell precursors into patients with endstage cardiomyopathy. Cells were obtained from the patient's own blood, avoiding immunological concerns. The number of cells prior to injection was 29.1 +/- 18.9 x10(6). Forty-one patients with cardiomyopathy (mean age, 58.5 +/- 14.3 years) underwent stem cell injection; 21 had dilat… Show more

“…The coronary disease and cardiac insufficiency are responsible for the greatest index of morbidity in occidental society, with a high rate of mortality [36]. There are many diseases which can affect the good functioning of cardiac muscle: coronary diseases [37], myocardial infarction [38], Chagas disease [39], and other myocardiopathies [40]. Several cell lines like embryonic stem cells, nuclear cells of marrow bone, myoblasts, endothelial and mesenchymal progenitors and cardiac stem cells were used with varied effectiveness and safety in pre-clinical and clinical rehearsals, in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction and chronic heart failure [41], showing an improvement of the cardiac function after the cellular therapy [42].…”

“…An array test showing that the cells secreted IL-8, VEGF and angiogenin was used to assess the product potency and later to narrow the range of tested cytokines to IL-8, which was subsequently used as a release test for the CTP [23]. Validation of the surrogate markerebased tests was achieved when the CTP was tested and shown to be effective in an in vivo rat model of ischemic cardiomyopathy [24] and in human patients with ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy [25,26] (Figure 3).…”

“…44 Other diseases also cause myocardial dysfunction, such as Chagas disease and other cardiomyopathies. 45 Advances in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases are due, in part, from the development of coronary revascularization techniques, and pacemaker and defibrillator implantation. With the exception of heart transplantation, these treatment options are limited by their incapacity to substitute lost cardiomyocytes and myocardial scars, and this is aggravated by the incapacity of the heart to replace its cell mass through self-renewal.…”
