Zusammenfassung:Bone marrow stem cell (BMSC) transplantation during coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is an innovative treatment for ischemic heart disease (IHD). We conduct a meta-analysis to examine whether patients with IHD presenting heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) can be beneficent from CABG with additional BMSC transplantation. Electronic searches were performed on PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov from their inception to July 2021. The efficacy was based on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVi), left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVi), and 6-min walk test (6MWT) change after treatment. Eight randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) were included in this meta-analysis, with a total of 350 patients. Results showed BMSC transplantation significantly improved the LVEF [mean difference (MD) = 6.23%, 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.22%–9.24%, P < 0.0001], LVEDVi (MD = −20.15 ml/m2, 95% CI: −30.49 to −9.82 ml/m2, P < 0.00001), and LVESVi (MD = −17.69 ml/m2, 95% CI: −25.24 to −10.14 ml/m2, P < 0.00001). There was no statistically significant difference in the improvement of LVEDD, LVEDV, and 6MWT between the cell transplantation group and control groups. Subgroup analysis revealed that the intervention for control group could affect the efficacy of BMSC transplantation. Sensitivity analysis found the conclusion of LVEDD, LVEDV, and 6MWT changes was not stable. Therefore, among patients with IHD presenting HFrEF, BMSC transplantation during CABG is promising to be beneficial for postoperative left ventricular (LV) function improvement. However, according to the unstable results of the sensitivity analysis, it cannot be concluded whether the extra step has a positive effect on left ventricular remodeling and exercise capacity. RCTs with larger cohorts and more strict protocols are needed to validate these conclusions.
