NCT00615394

Brief Summary

Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMC) transplantation is a promising therapy for treating ischemic disease, however the effect in non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy is unknown.This study describes a technique of BMMC transplantation utilizing mini-thoracotomy and results up to one year after the procedure.

    eighteen months

Interventions

Patients with previous diagnosis of non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. were included. Bone-marrow was collected from in the antero-superior iliac crest and mononuclear stem-cells were isolated by centrifugation in the density rate Ficoll-Hypaque 1.077 media. Surgical technique - The approach was through a left mini-thoracotomy. Twenty small injections of cellular suspension were directly made through a 21F butterfly needle(total=5 ml), in the anterior, lateral, posterior and apical faces of the left ventricle(average 9.6 ± 2.6 x 107 cells). After the procedure, the patients were kept in the post-operative intensive care unit for a minimum period of 24 hours. They were released from the hospital in a period that varied from five to seven days.
