Abstract
We report the case of a 58-year-old man with end-stage non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. Baseline transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and cardiac magnetic resonance (cMRI) revealed a markedly depressed left ventricle systolic function. He underwent autologous CD133+ BM-derived cell transplantation through a minimally invasive approach. During surgery 19 x 10(6) BM-derived stem cells were injected by the transepimyocardial route. Six months after the operation TTE and cMRI showed a clear improvement in left ventricular contractility.
