Stimulation of angiogenesis in rat ischemic limb by intramuscular implantation of mononuclear fraction cells from autologous bone marrow

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2011 Feb;150(4):530-4. doi: 10.1007/s10517-011-1183-5.

Abstract

We studied angiogenic effects of two variants of indirect revascularization (transplantation of mononuclear fraction cells from autologous bone marrow alone or in combination with laser tunneling) after modeled ischemia of the lower limbs in rats. Doppler sonography and immunofluorescence studies showed that intramuscular implantation of isolated fraction of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells in combination with laser tunneling of the muscles is most effective and can be recommended as a method of angiogenesis stimulation in non-reconstructable distal vascular pathology of the extremities.
