Transplantation of autologous mononuclear bone marrow stem cells in patients with peripheral arterial disease (The TAM-PAD study)

摘要

Objectives For patients with severe, chronic limb ischemia in many cases interventional or surgical treatment is not possible anymore. In the past, both intramuscular and intraarterial transplantation of autologous BMCs had been proved therapeutically beneficial. The TAMPAD study is the first one to analyze combined intraarterial and intramuscular BMC transplantation in its acute and long-term effects.
