Title: Intramyocardial Transplantation of Bone Marrow Stem Cells for Improvement of Post-infarct Myocardial Regeneration in Addition to CABG Surgery: a Controlled, Prospective, Randomized, Double Blinded Multicenter Trial (PERFECT)
Brief Summary: In spite of the fact that the post-myocardial infarction survival rate has improved with recent medical advances, reduced heart function attributed to irreversible loss of viable cardiomyocytes is still a major clinical problem.

The aim of the current study is to determine whether intramyocardial injection of autologous CD133+ bone marrow stem cells yields a functional benefit in addition to coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in patients with chronic ischemic coronary artery disease.
