Brief summary: The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of four different strategies for preventing the ventricular postinfarction remodelling: 1) Conventional treatment for reperfunded extensive acute myocardial infarction, 2) Autologous bone marrow stem-cells intracoronary transplantation 3) mobilization of bone marrow stem-cells induced by granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSF); and 4) combined treatment (stem-cells transplantation plus mobilization with G-CSF).

Detailed description: This clinical study is a phase II randomized trial for patients with an acute extensive reperfunded myocardial infarction who undergo coronary artery revascularization with sirolimus coated stents. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of four different strategies for preventing the ventricular postinfarction remodelling: 1) Conventional treatment for reperfunded extensive acute myocardial infarction, 2) Autologous bone marrow stem-cells intracoronary transplantation 3) mobilization of bone marrow stem-cells induced by granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSF); and 4) combined treatment (stem-cells transplantation plus mobilization with G-CSF). The investigational follow-up will be at 30 days, 4 and 9 months.Effectiveness of the therapies on neomyogenesis will be measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging analysis of left ventricular size and global and regional function and the myocardial viability.The impact of the therapies on stent re-endothelialization and restenosis will be analysed by angiography and intracoronary ultrasounds at 30 days and 9 months. The impact of the different treatments on neoangiogenesis will be measured by infarct related artery intracoronary study of the evolution of coronary flow reserve. Also, it will be measured the haematopoietic precursors kinetic in the different treatment branches.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age between 18 and 75 years
* Acute myocardial infarction with the following characteristics:

  * Clinical symptoms of chest pain lasting \>30 minutes, unresponsive to nitroglycerin.
  * Typical myocardial enzymatical necrotic curve
  * Total summed ST-segment elevation ≥ 6 mm in 12-lead electrocardiogram.
* Akynesis or hypokinesis in infarct-related artery area without contractility abnormalities in the rest of areas.
* Pharmacological, mechanical or both type reperfusions (facilitated angioplasty) with evidence of normal infarcted area epicardial flow (TIMI grade 3) in the first 24 hours after the beginning of the symptoms
* Successful repair of the infarct-related artery (residual post-stenting stenosis \< 30% by visual estimation with epicardial normal flow \[grade 3\] in the first 24 hours after the beginning of the symptoms or lack of significant residual lesions evidence (\<50% visual estimation) in infarct-related artery.
* Lack of evidence of significant lesions in the remaining coronary vessels or adequate revascularization achieved in the first 24 hours after symptoms began.

Exclusion Criteria:

* The presence of cardiogenic shock defined as sustained systolic blood pressure less than 90 mm Hg, with no response to fluids or systolic blood pressure less than 100 mm Hg with vasopressors (in absence of bradycardia)
* Suspicion or evidence of infarct mechanical complication
