The use of stem cells in ischemic heart disease treatment.
Polish Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery 2018 September
Ischemic heart disease is a major cause of death and disabilities worldwide. Unfortunately, not all patients are suitable for direct revascularization. Cell-based therapies may be alternative options because of their potential to promote neovascularisation and endothelial repair, improving myocardial perfusion. The success of cell-based therapies depends on the type of implanted stem cells, delivery method and underlying disease. Several different cell populations including bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (MNCs), mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), CD34+, CD133+, endothelial progenitor cells, adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ASCs) and stem cells from placenta and umbilical cord have been investigated. Presently, no consensus exists about the best cell type for clinical regenerative therapy. Because the system of coronary arteries in the ischemic area is poor and most of the coronary artery is significantly narrowed or closed, direct implantation of stem cells in the ischemic area of the heart muscle appears an attractive method.
