Bone Marrow Stem Cell Mobilisation Therapy for Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)(REVIVAL-2)

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether stem cell mobilization by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) therapy in patients with acute myocardial infarction after successful mechanical reperfusion reduces infarct size.
