Bone Marrow Derived AC 133+ and Mono-Nuclear Cells (MNC) Implantation in Myocardial Infarction (MI) Patient

Summary

Although a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can be used to open up the blocked artery and restore blood flow to the heart muscle after myocardial infarction, there may be a significant amount of heart tissue that has been irreversibly damaged. Recent studies have shown that adult stem cells from bone marrow may be able to improve heart function and prevent from heart remodeling due to heart failure. This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of using adult bone marrow derived stem cells for improving heart function in MI patients with Left Anterior Descending (LAD) involvement.
