Efficacy Study of Intramuscular or Intracoronary Injection of Autologous Bone Marrow Cells to Treat Scarred Myocardium

November 16, 2007 updated by: University Hospitals, Leicester

Efficacy of the Mode of Delivery of Autologous Bone Marrow Cells Into Heart Scar Muscle for the Recovery of Contractile Function

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the administration of patient's own bone marrow cells into scar areas of the heart, can improve the contractile function of these areas.
