Ischemic Congestive Heart Failure Clinical Trial
Official title:
An Open-label, Non-Randomized, Multi-Center Study to Assess the Safety and Cardiovascular Effects of Intramyocardial and Intravenous Implantation of Autologous Adipose-Derived Stem Cells in Ischemic Congestive Heart Failure Patients
The intent of this clinical study is to answer the questions:
1. Is the proposed treatment safe
2. Is treatment effective in improving the disease pathology of patients with Heart Disease
as assessed by a series of measurements indicating improvement, stability, or
degradation of a patient's cardiovascular function and exercise capacity?
This will be an open-label, non-randomized, multi-center patient-sponsored study designed to assess the safety and cardiovascular effects of Adipose-derived Stem Cell (ASC) implantation using a catheter delivery system in patients who have experienced myocardial infarction. A percutaneous transluminal endomyocardial injection catheter will be used for delivery of ASCs. The therapy is composed of cells isolated from a patient's own adipose tissue. Liposuction will be performed to collect the adipose tissue specimen for subsequent processing to isolate the stem cells. ;
