TLDR
If it is determined that direct intramyocardial injection of angiogenic factors enhances collateral function in patients, this less invasive catheter-based system offers a similar gene delivery efficiency and, thus, may have clear advantages compared with the surgically-based transepicardial injection approach.

Catheter-based autologous bone marrow myocardial injection in no-option patients with advanced coronary artery disease: A feasibility study

TL;DR: Preliminary clinical data indicates feasibility of catheter-based transendocardial delivery of ABM to ischemic myocardium in patients with severe symptomatic chronic myocardial ischemia not amenable to conventional revascularization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study of catheter-based myocardial gene transfer for therapeutic angiogenesis using left ventricular electromechanical mapping in patients with chronic myocardial ischemia.

TL;DR: This pilot study to investigate the feasibility and safety of catheter-based myocardial GTx of naked plasmid DNA encoding vascular endothelial growth factor-2 (phVEGF-2) in patients with chronicMyocardial ischemia provides preliminary indications regarding the feasibility, safety, and potential efficacy of percutaneous myocardia GTx to human left ventricular myocardium.

Angiogenesis Therapy Amidst the Hype, the Neglected Potential for Serious Side Effects

TL;DR: A discussion of potential complications of angiogenesis therapy based predominantly on knowledge of the underlying biological activities of 2 of the most potent angiogenic cytokines, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growthFactor (FGF).
Journal ArticleDOI

Therapeutic interventions for enhancing collateral development by administration of growth factors: basic principles, early results and potential hazards

TL;DR: There is ample experimental evidence justifying an optimistic outlook relating to the eventually being successful in enhancing collateral flow to ischemic tissue in a clinical setting, and an optimal angiogenesis intervention may require a 'multiple factor' strategy.

Gene Therapy for Myocardial Angiogenesis : Initial Clinical Results With Direct Myocardial Injection of phVEGF165 as Sole Therapy for Myocardial Ischemia

TL;DR: This initial experience with naked gene transfer as sole therapy for myocardial ischemia suggests that directMyocardial injection of naked plasmid DNA, via a minimally invasive chest wall incision, is safe and may lead to reduced symptoms and improved myocardian perfusion in selected patients with chronic myocardia.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Novel Method for Nonfluoroscopic Catheter-Based Electroanatomical Mapping of the Heart In Vitro and In Vivo Accuracy Results

TL;DR: The main shortcomings of conventional mapping-namely, prolonged x-ray exposure, low spatial resolution, and the inability to accurately navigate to a predefined site-can all be overcome with this new method.
Journal ArticleDOI

Angiogenic-induced enhancement of collateral blood flow to ischemic myocardium by vascular endothelial growth factor in dogs.

TL;DR: It is concluded that intracoronary VEGF enhances the development of small coronary arteries supplying ischemic myocardium, resulting in marked augmentation of maximal collateral blood flow delivery and suggests a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of myocardial ischemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction of Neoangiogenesis in Ischemic Myocardium by Human Growth Factors First Clinical Results of a New Treatment of Coronary Heart Disease

TL;DR: The use of FGF-I for myocardial revascularization is in principle a new concept and that it may be particularly suitable for patients with additional peripheral stenoses that cannot be revascularized surgically.
