Acute and Severe Myocardial Infarction Clinical Trial
Official title:
Intracoronary Injection of Autologous Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells for Severe Myocardial Infarction
Emerging evidence suggests that stem cells and progenitor cells derived from bone marrow can be used to improve cardiac function in patients after acute myocardial infarction. In this randomised trial, we aim to assess whether intracoronary transfer of autologous bone-marrow cells could improve myocardial viability at 3 and 12 months' follow-up.
