Intracoronary Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction: TRACIA STUDY. (TRACIA)

July 29, 2008 updated by: National Heart Institute, Mexico

Intracoronary Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction: TRACIA Study.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ejection fraction (EF) increase at 6 months follow up and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after intracoronary autologous stem cell transplantation in ST elevation myocardial infarction patients versus a control group.

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

Experimental trials with bone marrow cell have suggested that adult stem cell can contribute to regeneration of infarcted myocardial muscle and increase the neovascularization of the ischemic tissue.

Post-myocardial infarction heart failure secondary to ventricular remodelation it's an increasing problem. A novel therapeutic approach for decrease this consequence is to induce the angiogeneses and regeneration of myocardial cells.

Many trials have shown benefits through the intracoronary injection of stem cell, however the clinical benefit is still controversial. The present trial is a randomized single blinded controlled trial designed to evaluate the improvement on EF and survival in post ST elevation myocardial infarction patients undergoing to intracoronary autologous stem cell transplantation.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: A
Stem Cell Transplantation Group: Between the fifth and seventh day post-primary angioplasty (PTCA) we extract the stem cell from iliac crest and during the same day the patient undergoes to a new cardiac catheterization in which we perform the intracoronary injection (about 1-2 million of CD34 cells) through the infarct related artery by a PTCA "over-the-wire" catheter.
1-2 million of CD34 cells injected through the infarct related artery by PTCA "over-the-wire" catheter during multiple sequences of balloon artery occlusion with a mean duration of 30 minutes.
