stem cell therapy-heart
What is the stem cell therapy in heart. I came across the stem cell therapy today at internet. Actually this procedure been trial in IJN (institut Jantung Negara).
It mainly can be used in patient who failed angioplasty or not suitable for CABG,end stage cardiac failure.
It uses patient's own blood so that's no graft vs host rejection existed. Patient need to donate his blood then the stem cell(angiogenic cell precursors)(ACPS) is harvested from own blood.Because there are far too few stem cells in anyone's blood to be effective, so a proprietary technology to generate millions of ACPs from the patient's blood sample. This takes about a week. This generated stem cell (ACPS) is injected into patient's coronary through angiogram.After that,these cell will start to build vessels and heart muscle. With a month or two ,the effects will be seen.
