Clinical outcomes of acute, myocardial infarction (AMI) have significantly unproved after the use of reperfusion therapy (thrombolysis, percutaneous coronary intervention, or coronary artery bypass grafting). However, congestive heart failure resulting from ventricular remodeling after AMI continues to be a major problem. Recent literatures review confirms that stem cells (either derived from bone marrow or peripheral blood) can be effectively and safely delivered into infarcted myocardium by intracoronary, intramyocardial, or combinational (intracoronary and intramyocardial) transfer. In meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, stem cells transferred after AMI can improve left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, decrease LV volume and diameter, and reduce infarct size. The major factor related to favorable outcomes is the early transfer of a sufficient amount of stem cells (within 7 days after AMI) and with at least >10^8 cells. Major adverse cardiovascular events and mortality rates remain unchanged as compared with the control group, which means that stem cells transfer is safe and does not increase further risk.
