Title: Randomized Control Trial on Purified CD34+ Cells Versus Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells in Treatment of Critical Limb Ischemia
Brief Summary: To compare the efficacy and cost-effectiveness between purified CD34+ cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells in treatment of critical limb ischemia


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients 18 years of age or greater with atherosclerotic vascular disease that is viewed as not readily amenable to reconstructive surgery and Rutherford Category 4 ischemia (ischemic rest pain) and Rutherford Category 5 ischemia (ulceration or tissue necrosis) and by the judgment of their referring physician are not reasonable candidates for revascularization options of either percutaneous balloon angioplasty or a surgical revascularization.
* Objective evidence of severe peripheral arterial disease will include an ankle brachial index (ABI) of less than 0.5, or, in the case of patients who have vessels calcified and thereby "non-compressible" vessels metatarsal pulse volume recording (PVR) that is flat or barely pulsatile in the diseased limb on two consecutive examinations performed at least one week apart.
* Patients competent to give informed consent.
* No active malignant disease that could involve the bone marrow, or history of treatment of malignant disease that could have damaged the bone marrow.
* Before being accepted for the study the patient must be screened for human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, human transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, including Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease, Treponema pallidum, and have a negative standard infectious disease panel including a CMV PCR test.
* Patients who are hemodynamically stable.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (HbA1C \> 8%)
* Patients with renal insufficiency (creatinine \> 2.5).
* Patients with evidence of infectious disease as determined by e. above or other medical findings.
* Pregnant women (women capable of childbearing must have a negative pregnancy test).
* Patients with cognitive impairments.
* Other comorbid disease that would be expected to result in less than one year life expectancy
* Past malignancy or history of chemotherapy or radiation affecting the bone marrow.
* History of inflammatory or progressively fibrotic conditions: .e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosis, vasculitic disorders, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, retroperitoneal fibrosis
* Infection as evidenced by WBC count of \>15,000 and/or temperature \>38 degrees C. Large area of cellulitis in the afflicted limb that in the opinion of the investigators would require the institution of antibiotics OR evidence of osteomyelitis corroborated by radiographic or scintigraphic examination
* Cardiovascular conditions:

  * Exercise limiting angina ( Canadian Cardiovascular Society Class 3 (Appendix 7);
  * Congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association class 3 (Appendix 5);
  * Unstable angina;
  * Acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (MI) within 1month;
  * Transient ischemic attack or stroke within 1 month;
  * Severe valvular disease
* Patients with any history of organ transplants;
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Ischemic lower limb based on TASK guide line
* Rutherford score:2,3
* ABI\<0.6
* Absolute ankle pressure \< 60 mmHg
* Both gender
* Age:20-62years

Exclusion Criteria:

* EF\<30%
* Cr\>2
* HbA1c\>8%
* Bone marrow disorders:leukemia
* Cognitive disorders
* Infections
* MI with ST elevation during last month
* Malignancy
* Immunologic or rheumatologic disorders
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Rutherford scale of 4-5
* thromboangiitis obliterans, peripheral arterial disease, or arteritis caused by other etiologies, such as collagen diseases
* surgical or endovascular procedures are considered unlikely to have successful long-term revascularization, or have failed
* more than 4 weeks of critical limb ischemia
* if present, a non-healing ulcer after more than 4 weeks of optimal care by a wound care physician and a nurse

Exclusion Criteria:

* within 3 months of an acute myocardial infarction
* any contraindication for the administration of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age \> 18 years
* Severe Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD; Fontaine class III and / or IV):

  * Fontaine III (Rutherford 4): persistent, recurring rest pain requiring analgesia
  * Fontaine IV (Rutherford 5): non-healing ulcers present for \> 4 weeks without evidence of improvement in response to conventional therapies
* Ankle brachial index \< 0.6 or unreliable (non-compressible or not in proportion to the Fontaine classification)
* Not eligible for surgical or endovascular revascularization
* Written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

* History of neoplasm or malignancy in the past 10 years
* Serious known concomitant disease with life expectancy of less than one year
* Rutherford 6 in which amputation on the short term (within 1-2 weeks) is inevitable
* Pregnancy or unwillingness to use adequate contraception during study
* Uncontrolled acute or chronic infection with systemic symptoms
* Follow-up impossible.
