Abstract
Background: Autologous intramyocardial transplantation of CD133 positive bone marrow derived stem cells (BMSC) is currently investigated in cardiac regenerative therapy. Since sternal bone marrow is readily accessible during cardiac surgery procedures, it might be a suitable source for autologous stem cell harvest. However, little is known about the factors influencing stem cell yield and quality after sternal bone marrow aspiration.
