- Subject has been informed of the nature of the clinical trial and agrees to its provision and has provided written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subject has been treated with cell-based therapy;
- Subject has myocardial revascularization by PCI or CABG within 2 months prior to enrolment;
- Subject has had an MI within 2 months prior to enrolment;
- Subject is planned for PCI, CABG or any cardiac surgery;
- Subject has received a biventricular pacemaker within 6 month prior to enrolment;

- Subject has clinical evidence for infection or active malignancy;
- Subject has known stable chronic kidney dysfunction with serum creatinine > 2.5 mg/dL at two occasions during the screening period;
- Subject has experienced severe adverse reaction/allergies to contrast agents;
- Subject has atherosclerosis and/or tortuosity of the aorta, iliac or femoral arteries of a degree, that could impede or preclude the safe retrograde passage of the delivery catheter, in the judgment of the investigator;
