ABSTRACT
The field of myocardial regeneration (angiogenesis and myogenesis) might prove to play an important role in the future management of cardiovascular disease. Stem cells are currently undergoing testing in Phase I and Phase II clinical trials. Methods of delivery will affect the outcome of such therapies, perhaps significantly. This document provides suggested guidance in 4 methods of delivery: endocardial, intracoronary, coronary sinus, and epicardial.
