SWISS AMI: Stem cells infusion after primary angioplasty

The trial enrolled 200 patients post AMI treated with successful PCI, with LVEF ≤45% randomized to placebo, to receive early (before 7 days) or late (after 7 days) stem cells infusion. Primary end point was LVEF at 4 months. At follow up, stem cells infusion, both early and late, did not improve LVEF, compared to placebo.

Conclusion: Stem cells infusion post PCI does not improve EF in patients with ventricular dysfunction.
