Non-Ischemic Congestive Heart Failure
Conditions
Keywords
CHF, Heart Failure, Non-Ischemic, nonischemic, nonischemia
Brief summary
The intent of this clinical study is to answer the questions: 1. Is the proposed treatment safe 2. Is treatment effective in improving the disease pathology of patients with Heart Disease as assessed by a series of measurements indicating improvement, stability, or degradation of a patient's cardiovascular function and exercise capacity?
Detailed description
This will be an open-label, non-randomized, multi-center patient-sponsored study designed to assess the safety and cardiovascular effects of Adipose-derived Stem Cell (ASC) implantation using a catheter delivery system in patients who have nonischemic congestive heart failure. A percutaneous transluminal endomyocardial injection catheter will be used for delivery of ASCs. The therapy is composed of cells isolated from a patient's own adipose tissue. Liposuction will be performed to collect the adipose tissue specimen for subsequent processing to isolate the stem cells.
Interventions
PROCEDUREHarvesting and Implantation of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ASCs)
Local liposuction procedure to harvest the fat tissue. Adipose Derived Stem Cells are then implanted via intramyocardial and intravenous injection.

Exposure to angiogenic therapy (including myocardial laser) or another investigational drug within 60 days of screening, or enrollment in any concurrent study that may confound the results of this study 18. Any factors in the opinion of the Investigator which render the patient unsuitable for participation, that will interfere with conduct of the study or interpretation of the results.
