Zusammenfassung: | Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of intramyocardial bone marrow cell (BMC) transplant therapy for ischemic heart disease (IHD). Methods The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases through October 2013 were searched for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of intramyocardial BMCs to treat IHD. The primary endpoint was change in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Secondary endpoints were changes in left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) and left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV). Weighted mean differences for the changes were estimated with a random-effects model. Results Eleven RCTs with 492 participants were included. Intramyocardial BMC transplantation increased LVEF (4.91%; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.84%–6.99%; P |
