Peripheral Artery Disease Patients Save Their Legs Through Stem Cell Therapy
In a stem cell research study, 39 out of 44 patients with severe peripheral artery disease (PAD) and treated with stem cell treatment using their own Adult Stem Cells have had their legs saved from amputation.
87% Success Rate For Stem Cell Treatment
In a stem cell clinical trial, 60 peripheral artery disease patients, all of them smokers and many with Diabetes, had their own stem cells injected into their legs in an effort to save the legs from amputation. The 6 month follow up results are in for the first 44 patients and I repeat 39 had their legs saved. That is 87%. Not too shabby.
As If We Needed More Proof to Stop Smoking...
Dr. Vijayaragavan, Head of the Department of Vascular Surgery, Sri Ramachandra University, Chennai, is conducting the stem cell research trial. He says that the 5 peripheral artery disease patients in which the stem cell therapy did not help-- those patients didn't stop smoking even after the adult stem cells were implanted!!
From the
stem cell article:
The injection of stem cells would therefore help in creating new collaterals and these would provide the vital conduit for blood flow to the parts of the leg below the block. “The stem cells injected help in angiogenesis,” said Dr. Vijayaragavan.
“We did not see any great difference in angiogenesis between the two groups [one that got stem cell injections very close to the blood vessel, and the second group that got injections close to the vessel and as well as into the main artery above the block],” he said.
Stem Cell Research- A Case Study
We first got word of this
stem cell research study in February when Dr. Vijayaragavan presented early results of his study in New York at a Cardiovascular Research Foundation meeting. There, he showed a case study of a 64 year old:
“These spots were along the blocked arteries. In four weeks, his pain came down. In eight weeks, he could walk.
By the 12th week, he could get back to his daily routine with no trouble,” says Dr Vijayaraghavan.
Nothing to Lose - Why Not Adult Stem Cells?
As I said back in February, this is a no brainer. The adult stem cell treatment should be a standard therapy for any peripheral vascular disease patient who is facing amputation. The patient has nothing to lose (the procedure consists of simple injections of the patient's own stem cells into his leg) and everything to gain. It is a shame that this isn't available in the United States.
