Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction treated by successful primary PTCA of the infarct related coronary artery within 12 hours after onset of chest pain 2. Increase in CPK levels >1600 U/L 3. Male or female >18 years old 4. Able and willing to undergo all the tests used in the protocol 5. Written informed consent
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Previous myocardial infarction or CABG 2. Evidence of cancer (except low grade and fully resolved non-melanoma skin malignancy) 3. Concurrent participation in a study using an experimental drug or an experimental procedure within 2 months before acute myocardial infarction 4. Unstable medical situation e.g. life-threatening heart failure 5. Other severe concurrent illnesses (e.g. active infection, aortic stenosis, renal failure) 6. Bleeding diathesis or HIV infection 7. Any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, could pose a significant threat to the subject if the investigational therapy was to be initiated 8. Candidates for additional surgical or percutaneous intervention within the study period
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Safety and feasibility of intramyocardial injection of ex vivo expanded mesenchymal stem cells after primary PTCA for acute myocardial infarction | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - To assess the efficacy of autologous bone marrow-derived in vitro expanded mesenchymal stem cell transplantation after successful primary PTCA for acute myocardial infarction: - Infarct size assessed by gated SPECT (baseline vs. 3 months) - Left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular end-diastolic volume and left ventricular end-systolic volume as assessed by gated SPECT (baseline vs. 3 months) | — |
