Here's the evidence I need....From the American Journal of Medicine, May 2014
As a last resort intervention for the patient's dysfunctional heart, 100 million adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction cells were delivered via localized intramyocardial injection (left apex), and 200 million adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction cells were delivered systemically via intravenous injection.
Within 7 days of the procedure, transesophageal echocardiography was performed to evaluate recovery of the patient's left ventricular function. His ejection fraction improved to 35% with recovery in the contractility of the previously akinetic inferolateral segment.
Spontaneous recovery of the damaged myocardium occurred.
As per Dr. Zain Khalpey, cardiac surgeon and member of SVFC's advisory board, "I would rather not put you on the list for transplant, I would rather take your fat-derived stem cells, inject them into you and try to use the device as a bridge to regenerate your heart, rather than using transplanted tissue, where you have to be on immunosuppression for the rest of your life. I believe that with the use of cavitation technology to harvest the stromal vascular fraction from a lipoaspirate without chemicals and enzymes, we would be able to capture the appropriate stem cells with their micromatrix and microenvironment for use in patients with failing hearts and lungs."
