cardiac cell therapy

On the road to regeneration. “Tools” and “Routes” towards efficient cardiac cell therapy for ischemic cardiomyopathy

Purpose of Review: Cardiac regenerative medicine is a field bridging together biotechnology and surgical science. In this review, we present the explored surgical roads to cell delivery and the known effects of each delivery method on cell therapy efficiency. We also list the more recent clinical trials, exploring the safety and efficacy of delivery routes used for cardiac cell therapy approaches. Recent Findings: There is no consensus in defining which way is the most suitable for the delivery of the different therapeutic cell types to the damaged heart tissue.
