Intracoronary Infusion of Autologous CD133⁺ Cells in Myocardial Infarction and Tracing by Tc99m MIBI Scintigraphy of the Heart Areas Involved in Cell Homing

Table 3

Scintigraphy investigations of heart in 8 out of 11 patients after a period of 9 months. High inclusion of Tc99 (%) in the regions of anteroseptal (a), inferoseptal (b), and apex (c) before cell therapy (rest and stress) and after cell therapy (stress). The difference between postoperative perfusion and preoperative perfusion in stress condition presented as evaluation.
