Day 3

PILOT trial: Pilot study of two levels of hypothermia in comatose survivors after out-of-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest.

Hypothermia is neuroprotective, because it reduces brain oxygen consumption in 6%, suppresses chemical reactions associated to reperfusion,...

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,...

TIME: Use and duration of bone marrow derived stem cells infusion for the treatment of post infarction ventricular dysfunction.

This study randomized 120 patients with acute myocardial infarction after successful primary angioplasty with a residual ejection...

POSEIDON: Transendocardial infusion of autologous vs. allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.

Safety and efficacy of autologous vs. allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells had not yet been compared. This trial...

SCIPIO trial: Intracoronary infusion of autologous cardiac stem cells improve ventricular function.

This is the first trial that used autologous cardiac stem cells for the treatment of ischemic cardiomyopathy....

ALCADIA: An intra-myocardial injection of autologous cardiac derived stem cells improves ventricular function in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.

This is an open trial that included 7 patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and reduced the ejection fraction...
