Safety and Feasibility Study of Autologous Bone Marrow Cell Transplantation in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease (PAOD)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Patients with peripheral artery disease, stage III or IV who are not candidates for interventional or operative therapy should be treated with intraarterial progenitor cell therapy (autologous bone marrow cells) in a randomized, placebo controlled trial.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Main goal:
Improvement of limb perfusion (Ankle brachial index).
Secondary aims:
Reduction of pain Reduction of Ulcer size Walking distance Improvement in tissue oxygenation (TCO2) Minor or major amputation
