Recently, Nanto et al. reported that cilostazol effectively prevented restenosis in a retrospective analysis of 121 femoropopliteal artery lesions in percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) patients who had undergone PTA. In a prospective 3-year follow-up study in 127 patients with similar diseases, the patency rate was significantly higher in the cilostazol group than in the ticlopidine group. It was also found that cilostazol markedly inhibited restenosis during the first 1-year period following endovascular therapy when restenosis is most frequently observed. In addition, there have been sporadic reports that cilostazol was effective in preventing post-stenting restenosis in the coronary artery area. Based on these results, this multicenter study is going to be conducted to prospectively evaluate the usefulness of cilostazol in lower limb endovascular therapy.
Clinical studies have established that implantation of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PB-MNCs) into ischaemic limbs increases collateral vessel formation. We, the investigators at Nagoya University, further investigated the efficacy and safety of autologous implantation of BM-MNCs or PB-MNCs in patients with severe ischaemic limbs who have no other alternative therapeutic options. We also examined a potential limiting factor which reduced the efficacy of therapeutic angiogenesis using cell transplantation (TACT).
