Intramyocardial Delivery of Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells and Mechanical Assist Device Implantation in Patients with End-Stage Cardiomyopathy

In end-stage heart failure, mechanical ventricular assist devices (VAD) are being used as bridge-to-transplantation, as a bridge-to-recovery, or as the definitive therapy. We tested the hypothesis that myocardial implantation of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMNC) increases the likelihoo...
