SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The first clinical trial of adipose (fat) tissue-derived stem and regenerative cells (ADRCs) for the treatment of no-option chronic heart disease patients showed the following: the procedure was safe and feasible; it demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in maximum oxygen consumption (MVO2) and patients’ aerobic capacity measured as metabolic equivalents (METS); and reduced the extent of infarct size in the left ventricle. Stem and regenerative cells were prepared and made available at the point-of-care using the Celution® System, the proprietary cell processing device developed by trial sponsor Cytori Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CYTX). More detailed information on this study and the results from a separate study in heart attack patients also reported today may be found at the following link: cytoritx.presslift.com/cardiacdata.
