Improved Cell Survival in Infarcted Myocardium Using a Novel Combination Transmyocardial Laser and Cell Delivery System

Stem cell therapy has been used to treat ischemic cardiac disease with promising early results. However, there has been limited success using cell therapy in infarcted tissue. The cells have an inadequate microvascular environment in order to survive once implanted into scar tissue. The goal of this...
