Concentrated stem cells directly injected into patient's heart in new clinical trial

"For the first time, surgeons at the Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas, have injected highly-concentrated stem cells directly into a patient's heart, providing an intense, direct hit on damaged heart tissue. The promising new technique can turn out to be more effective in regenerating healthy heart tissue than current methods that use a catheter to put standard stem cells through the bloodstream into the heart. The patient, who was a 58-year-old veteran and businessman, is resting comfortably and may be discharged this weekend" - newKerala
