Cell-based therapies are a promising option in patients with acute myocardial infarction or chronic heart failure (CHF). However, administration of cells requires intracoronary or intracardiac instrumentation, which is potentially associated with periprocedural risks. Therefore, we analyzed periprocedural complications and 30-day outcome in 775 consecutive procedures of intracoronary administration of progenitor cells using the stop-flow technique.
