2. History of malignancy (except low grade and fully resolved non-melanoma skin malignancy)
3. Unexplained haematological or biochemical abnormalities
4. Concurrent participation in a study using an experimental drug or an experimental procedure within 6 months before the injection procedure

Interventions
|
After written informed consent has been obtained, quality of life and exercise capacity will be investigated. In addition myocardial function and perfusion will be documented. Bone marrow will be aspired from the iliac crest under local anesthesia. Patients will be randomised to receive bone marrow cells or placebo. In all patients NOGA™ mapping will be performed with subsequent intramyocardial injection of autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells or placebo.
Quality of life and exercise capacity will be re-assessed at 3 and 6 months follow-up. In addition, changes in myocardial function and perfusion will be evaluated at 3 months follow-up.
|
|
Primary outcome measure(s)
|
The change in myocardial perfusion (SPECT) at 3 months follow-up relative to baseline.
|
|
Secondary outcome measure(s)
|
Efficacy:
1. Clinical end points:
1.1. Angina frequency
1.2. Canadian cardiovascular society score
1.3. Quality of life
1.4. Exercise capacity
2. Functional end points:
2.1. Change in left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction at 3 months follow-up
2.2. Regional myocardial function on a segmental base at 3 months follow-up
3. Safety:
3.1. Occurrence of arrhythmias
3.2. Pericardial effusion greater than 5 mm (echo)
3.3. Myocardial damage
3.4. Severe inflammation
