The infarct area was smaller in the ADSC group with marginal significance (13.9±10.6 cm 2 in the ADSC group vs. 22.7±13.2 cm 2 in the control group; p =0.085) ( Fig. 4 ).

An interim analysis showed that the intracoronary injection of fhADCs was feasible and safe, and showed a trend toward improved cardiac function and perfusion defects, and reduced myocardial scarring. 4 In conclusion, this study demonstrated that intracoronary administration of cultured ADSCs improved myocardial perfusion defects, reduced LV chamber dilatation and infarct area in a porcine acute MI model.
