Safety and Efficacy of Intracoronary Adult Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells After Acute Myocardial Infarction (SEED-MSC)
Acute Myocardial Infarction

About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Acute Myocardial Infarction focused on measuring Mesenchymal stem cells, Myocardial infarction, Left ventricular dysfunction

Mesenchymal stem cell treatment group
Control group
All patients were required to have successful revascularization of an infarct-related artery on coronary angiography at the time of randomization. All patients received aspirin (300 mg loading dose, then 100 mg daily) and clopidogrel (600 mg loading dose, then 75 mg daily) with optimal medical therapy according to the American College of Cardiology (ACC)/ American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines for treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)
