Background Pilot trials suggest that the intracoronary administrationof autologous progenitor cells may improve left ventricularfunction after acute myocardial infarction.
Methods In a multicenter trial, we randomly assigned 204 patientswith acute myocardial infarction to receive an intracoronaryinfusion of progenitor cells derived from bone marrow (BMC)or placebo medium into the infarct artery 3 to 7 days aftersuccessful reperfusion therapy.
Results At 4 months, the absolute improvement in the globalleft ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was significantlygreater in the BMC group than in the placebo group (mean [±SD]increase, 5.5±7.3% vs. 3.0±6.5%; P=0.01). Patientswith a baseline LVEF at or below the median value of 48.9% derivedthe most benefit (absolute improvement in LVEF, 5.0%; 95% confidenceinterval, 2.0 to 8.1). At 1 year, intracoronary infusion ofBMC was associated with a reduction in the prespecified combinedclinical end point of death, recurrence of myocardial infarction,and any revascularization procedure (P=0.01).
Conclusions Intracoronary administration of BMC is associatedwith improved recovery of left ventricular contractile functionin patients with acute myocardial infarction. Large-scale studiesare warranted to examine the potential effects of progenitor-celladministration on morbidity and mortality. (ClinicalTrials.govnumber, NCT00279175
