Acute and Severe Myocardial Infarction

Brief summary
Emerging evidence suggests that stem cells and progenitor cells derived from bone marrow can be used to improve cardiac function in patients after acute myocardial infarction. In this randomised trial, we aim to assess whether intracoronary transfer of autologous bone-marrow cells could improve myocardial viability at 3 and 12 months' follow-up.
Detailed description
After successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction, 100 patients are randomly assigned to either a control group (n=50) who receives an optimal medical treatment, or a bone-marrow-cell group (n=50) who receives an optimal medical treatment and intracoronary transfer of autologous bone-marrow cells 7•10 days after PCI.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in Myocardial viability evaluated by thallium scintigraphy (3 months and 1 year) | after 3 months and 1 year of treatment |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
