Therapeutic angiogenesis in cardiovascular disease
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Atherosclerotic disease of the arteries is a major cause of coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease and stroke. Some patients are however not candidate for the standard treatment of angioplasty or bypass surgery. Hence there is tremendous enthusiasm...

Some patients are however not candidate for the standard treatment of angioplasty or bypass surgery.
