Abstract
Patient:gender – Male, age – 63 year-oldPrimary Diagnosis:Acute myocardial infarctionCo-existing Diseases:HypertensionMedication:Aspirin • beta-blocker • captoprilClinical Procedure:CABG • autologous skeletal myoblast transplantation • PCISpecialty:CardiologyObjective:Unusual or unexpected effect of treatment.Background:Cell transplantation has been viewed as a promising strategy for end-stage heart failure, but long-term follow-up results are lacking.Case Report:In December 2002 we began transplanting autologous skeletal myoblasts in one patient because of serious coronary heart disease. Here, we present the 9-year follow-up results of this patient. No ventricular tachyarrhythmias were detected after treatment. The patient had another myocardial infarction in April 2012 and was treated successful with PCI.Conclusions:Autologous skeletal myoblast transplantation with bypass surgery is associated with improvement in cardiac function and lack of adverse effects in long-term follow-up, making it a promising therapy for patients with heart failure.
