Autologus peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for acute myocardiol infarction:observation on the safety / 中国实用内科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the safety and feasibility of autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation by intracoronory infusion in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods Totally 27 patients with AMI were randomly allocated to receive either inclusive type granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF),or excretory type G-CSF to mobilize the stem cells.They received the dose of G-CSF 300-600?g/d by hypodermic injection for 5 days.On the sixth day,PBSCs were separated by Baxter CS 3000 blood cell separator into 50ml suspending liquid.The suspending liquid without treatment was infused into the infarct-related artery (IRA)by occluding the over-the-wire balloon and infusing artery through balloon center lumen.During PBSC mobilization,the following side-effects should be paid attention to,such as bone pain,lethargy,tetter,fever,gastrointestinal effects (nausea,vomiting,constipation),angina or deteriorated heart failure,as well as some rare complications (spontaneous spleen rupture,severe purulent infection, hypercoagulable state,and autoimmune diseases).When the PBSCs were being separated and collected,some complications were observed,for example,low calcium effects (mouth numbness and spasm),pale and dizziness due to vagus reflect,pale and dizziness owing to low blood volume,deterioration of angina or heart failure.The complications should also be observed during the PBSC transplantation by intracoronary infusionarrhythmia including bradycardia (because of balloon occlusion),sinus arrest or the third degree of atrial ventricular block (because of coronary spasm due to balloon stimulating stent), ventricular fibrillation or hypotension,etc.Results There were 22 cases with complications during the mobilization,separation,collection, and infusion of PBSCs.The incidence of complications during mobilization was 44.4%(12/27),during separation and collection is 25.9%(7/27),and during PBSC transplantation by intracoronary infusion 11.1%(3/27).Conclusion In patients with AMI,Intracoronary infusion of PBSC is feasible and safe.
