Relationship between perioperative cardiovascular risk factors and bone marrow cells from patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery

L. Zhang, Wang, R., Xiao, C. - S., Wu, Y., and Gao, C. - Q., Relationship between perioperative cardiovascular risk factors and bone marrow cells from patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery, vol. 14, pp. 15233-15241, 2015.

Cell therapy through the implantation of autologous bone marrow cells has long been used in clinical trials for the treatment of ischemic heart diseases. However, as the outcomes of cell implantation vary among patients, risk factors that might influence the level and function of bone marrow progenitor cells should be determined, to identify patients who would benefit the most from this treatment. We collected clinical and laboratory data from 44 patients scheduled to undergo sternotomy for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
