First U.S. Patient Enrolled In Stem Cell Transplantation

First U.S. Patient Enrolled In Stem Cell Transplantation: In this study, individuals randomized to receive stem cells will have their stem cells harvested from their own bone marrow in the operating room while they are under anesthesia. After the bone marrow cells are harvested, doctors perform the bypass procedure. The cells are simultaneously processed to separate stem cells from bone marrow. After performing the bypass, the surgeons then inject the stem cells into the subject's heart, and the procedure is complete.
