The transplantation of bone-marrow stem cells into the heart might restore viability after myocardial infarction, and the regenerative potentials of human autologous adult stem cells with respect to myocardial regeneration and neovascularization after myocardial infarction may contribute to healing in the infarcted areas. Here, we describe the results of this method in a patient with acute myocardial infarction who exhibited quantitative improvements in ventricular geometry and contractility. Furthermore, left ventricular ejection fraction and infarct area were improved at 3 month after stem cell transplantation as compared with baseline echocardiography and myocardial single photon emission computed tomography findings.
