NCT01595776

Brief Summary

Aim: to value the safety and efficacy of local intramuscular administration of immunoselected autologous endothelial progenitor cells in the treatment of critical limb ischemia in patients without revascularization options. Primary goal: to value the feasibility of mobilization, harvesting, immunoselection and auto transplantation of endothelial progenitor cells. Secondary goal: to value the efficacy of local administration of autologous endothelial progenitor cells in the treatment of critical limb ischemia

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)

    Muscular and arterial ultrasound before and after endovenous injection of contrast medium (SonoVue BR1; Bracco, Milan, Italy)

    3-6-12 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Pain relief

    3-6-12 months

  • ulcer healing

    3-6-12 months

Study Arms (1)

single arm: autologous EPCs

EXPERIMENTAL
Other: Endothelial progenitor cells intramuscular implant

Interventions

After marrow stimulation the CD133+ cell count was monitored daily. Each leukapheresis collection was diluted with 10% acide citrate dextrose (ACD-A)CD133 immunomagnetic cell selections were performed . After loco-regional anesthesia and below the knee cutaneous disinfection, 45-48 ml of autologous CD133+ saline solution suspension is administered intramuscularly with 1 ml deep injection through 18G needle. The injections were so allocated: 10 ml in the anterior compartment of leg, 10 ml in the superficial posterior compartment, 10 ml in the deep posterior compartment, 10 ml in the lateral compartment and the remaining part in the foot.

Also known as: Cell therapy in critical limb ischemia.
single arm: autologous EPCs
