The purpose of this study is to determine whether transendocardial injections of autologous endothelial progenitor cells CD 133 is safe and feasible in patients with refractory angina.
The PROGENITOR trial is a randomized, double-blinded, multicenter controlled trial including patients with Canadian cardiovascular society angina classification (CCS): II-IV and ischemic zones by SPECT but without any option for revascularization. Primary endpoint was to assess the safety and feasibility of transendocardial injection of selected CD133+cells. All patients were treated for 4-days with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and underwent apheresis. CD133+ cells were selected with CliniMacs system and were injected transendocardially guided by the NOGA XP system.
