Brief Summary

Human Vascular Endothelial Grown Factor 165 (hVEGF165) administration is promising therapy induces a new vessels, arterioles and capillaries in regions whose revascularization surgery is not possible by direct or by percutaneous angioplasty. This study aims to evaluate the clinical effects and safety of gene therapy with hVEGF165 in patients with advanced coronary artery disease.

Procedure: Mini-thoracotomy for intramyocardial injection of VEGF165

Interventions

Patients with previous diagnosis of ischemic cardiopathy were included. The patient must accept and agree to be subject of clinical observation with current optimal treatment for at least 6 months. Following to that, subject undergoes intervention, in addition to consultation and assessments. Surgical technique -Ten injections VEGF165 will be made through a 25F butterfly needle in any ischemic territory where previously identified through scintigraphy. Dosis: 2.000 mg of VEGF165 in 5ml of saline solution. After the procedure, the patients will be kept in a recovery room for about 24hs and in the hospital until full clinical recovery.
