What the procedure involves.
Cardiac stem cell therapy for heart failure, ischemic cardiomyopathy, and post-myocardial infarction recovery using mesenchymal stem cells or cardiac progenitor cells. Chinese cardiovascular centers conduct clinical trials delivering stem cells via intracoronary, intramyocardial, or intravenous routes to promote cardiac repair. Programs combine cell therapy with optimized heart failure management.
Step by step.
Cardiac Assessment
Echocardiography, cardiac MRI, coronary angiography, and ejection fraction measurement
Cell Preparation
Autologous bone marrow harvest or allogeneic MSC selection and quality testing
Cell Delivery
Intracoronary infusion during catheterization or intramyocardial injection via specialized catheter
Cardiac Rehabilitation
Structured cardiac rehab program with serial echocardiography and functional capacity testing
- Potential to improve ejection fraction and reduce heart failure symptoms
- Chinese cardiovascular centers have extensive catheter-based delivery experience
- Combined with optimal medical and rehabilitative care
- May reduce hospitalizations for heart failure
- Arrhythmia risk during and after cell delivery
- Experimental nature with variable clinical outcomes
- Catheterization procedure carries inherent vascular risks
- Long-term benefit duration uncertain
