Conditions

Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Brief summary

A phase 1 prospective study to determine the procedural feasibility and safety and preliminary efficacy of intracoronary infusion of cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs) in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.

Detailed description

Five consecutive patients will be enrolled to a phase 1 study to verify the procedural feasibility and safety with the CDC infusion group.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALCDC infusion

Injection of CDCs (0.3 million per kg of body weight).
