After the primary PTCA, and between days 3 and 5, patients were assigned randomly at a 1:1 proportion to the stem cells group or the control group. For this, closed envelopes with consecutive numbers were used. In the stem cells group, bone marrow was obtained, performing an intracoronary injection of the tissue, as well as a ventriculography between days 6 and 7. In both groups, a nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study, a two-dimensional echocardiogram and simple photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with isotope ventriculography were performed between days 5 and 7. Clinical follow-up was performed on the first, third, and sixth months in both groups, and cardiac catheterism with ventriculography, SPECT, and MRI were performed. </p> <p class="elsevierStylePara"> <img src="293v81n03-90028653fig1.jpg" alt="Figure 1.

Along the whole procedure, the patient was kept under surveillance by means of non-invasive arterial pressure monitoring, electrocardiogram, and O<span class="elsevierStyleInf">2</span> saturation measurements. Extraction was achieved by repeated punctures in the posterior iliac crest with a puncturing needle connected to a 20 mL syringe, after skin asepsis with an iodine-base solution (Isodine®). In each puncture, an average of 5 to 10 mL was aspirated. After each puncture-aspiration, the needle was washed with saline solution and heparin, repeating the process until 80 to 100 mL of bone marrow was obtained. The sample was placed in a special 100 mL bag for bone-marrow collection with a double filtration system, and containing 10 mL of saline solution and 1 mL of 1% nonfractionated heparin. The bag was transported in fresh to the National Center of Blood Transfusion.</p> <p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Processing and collecting of stem cells or hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC)</span>. The obtained sample was processed immediately at its arrival to the cell therapy area following the protocol to separate bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells, using a Ficoll® density gradient with the CS-900 kit in the automated Sepax® S-100 system (Biosafe America Inc, USA). The initial documents included request for the processing of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC), clinical summary of the patients, demographic data, and informed consent. The total volume of the obtained bone marrow was calculated, and captured in the TESI® Hemodata database, to be assigned a specific bar code; and samples were obtained for the initial blood count. During collection of mononuclear cells with the Sepax® equipment, 100 mL of pyrogen-free sterile Ficoll® and a washing buffer solution (2.5% albumin) were used. The process lasted approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. Once the process ended, a bag with a fixed volume of 50 mL of mononuclear cells (MNC) was obtained. From this bag, samples were taken to perform a final blood count, clonogenic cultures (STEMCELL Technologies, USA), to determine CD34+, CD35+, and cell viability through flow cytometry (FACScalibur, Bekton Dickinson, USA). From the residual washing bad, 20 ml were taken to perform aerobic and anaerobic microbiological cultures (BacTALERT, Biomeriux, USA). Cells recovered with the automated process corresponded in average to: MNC, 56%; CD34+, 88%; showing viability, 98%; granulocytes depletion, 88%; erythrocytes depletion, 99.7%; and platelet depletion, 66%. The final dose was adjusted from 1.0 to 2.0 × 10<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span> CD34+ in 20 ml of buffer. HPC were transported in fresh for their immediate infusion. </p> <p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Intracoronary infusion of stem cells or HPC</span>. This procedure was performed between the 6th and 7th day after the primary PTCA according to conventional angioplasty techniques. That is, the femoral artery was punctured with a 6 Fr system and the artery responsible for the infarct was cannulated using the corresponding guiding catheter. Before performing the basal shot with contrast medium, 200 µg of nitroglycerine were administered. Once the responsible artery had been identified, a hydrophilic 0.014" angioplasty guide was advanced from 300 cm until the distal portion of the vessel and at that moment a dose of non-fractionated heparin was administered according to the weight of the patient. Afterwards, an over-the-wire balloon catheter was introduced until the site of the implanted stent (relation balloon-stent, 1:1), insufflating the balloon at 2 or 3 atmospheres (atm). At this moment, the angioplasty guide was removed, infusion of stem cells was started at a rate of 1 mL per min during 2 minutes, and then the balloon was deflated for 1 min. This procedure was repeated until completing the total dose of stem cells (approx. 10 mL to 13 mL). </p> <p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Magnetic resonance protocol</span>. The used scanner was a 1.5-Tessla Sonata optimized for the heart. The study is initiated with localizing images, followed by orthogonal sections in the three planes in the HASTE (half-acquisition turbo spin echo) sequence as reference for the acquisition of T2-weighted high resolution images, obtaining 16 images of a single pulse of activity by means of the semi-Fourier reconstruction. The functional morphological analysis included 4- and 5-chamber images in gradient plane echo movie, showing the outflow tract of the left and right ventricles. In each projection, at least one cardiac cycle is captured (R-R interval of the electrocardiogram) with a fast Turbo-FLASH sequence. To evaluate myocardial viability, intravenous gadolinium was administered, acquiring immediate images in two cameras and short axis, named "first pass". Fifteen to twenty minutes thereafter, images were acquired in four cameras, short axis, and two cameras in an inversion-recovery sequence in search of delayed reinforcement. </p> <p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleItalic">SPECT protocol</span>. A Siemens Orbiter 2000 gamma camera provided with an ICON A/P processor and the quantitative Gated-SPECT software Cedars-Sinai was used. We used the one-day technetium-99m sestamibi (<span class="elsevierStyleSup">99m</span>Tc) protocol. The SPECT images were obtained 45 min to 60 min after the administration of 10 to 15 mCi at rest and 20 to 30 mCi after effort.

In this randomized, two-institutional study, we report the first eight cases with an angiographic and clinical follow-up by means of SPECT and MRI at 6 months, and illustrate, essentially, the feasibility and safety of performing a stem cells study at our institution. </p> <p class="elsevierStylePara">Regarding the ideal time for the intracoronary injection of stem cells, we chose days 5 and 7, as there is evidence that during the first 5 days of the acute STEMI the inflammatory process is more intense and stem cells could easily be destroyed. It has been recommended that the ideal time for the transplant is between days 5 and 14 after presentation of the infarct.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">15-17</span> Regarding safety of the procedure, there were no complications during either bone marrow extraction or the intracoronary injection of stem cells, as has been reported previously. </p> <p class="elsevierStylePara">The mechanism of action of stem cells in the treatment of infarcts is still uncertain and can be multi-factorial. Most published data derive from experimental studies, which have suggested that the beneficial effect is exerted through the activation of the stem cells residing in the myocardium. This activation is accomplished through paracrine mechanisms. In fact, it has been demonstrated in mice that bone marrow-derived stem cells transplanted into an infarcted myocardium, after a certain time, loose their hematopoietic characteristics and acquire cardiogenic and endothelial lineages to form functional cardiomyocytes and vascular structures.<span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></p> <p class="elsevierStylePara">Although the evidence published until now suggests that transplantation of bone marrow-derived stem cells can be clinically relevant, studies with large number of patients are required, as well as new experimental models able to elucidate the biology of these cells and their action mechanism in the infarcted myocardium. </p> <p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Conclusions</span></p> <p class="elsevierStylePara">The initial experience at the <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Instituto Nacional de Cardiología Ignacio Chávez</span> in the treatment of acute STEMI by means of autologous transplantation of bone marrow-derived stem cells is encouraging.

Methods: The TRACIA study was implemented following predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The protocol includes procedures such as randomization, bone marrow retrieval, stem cells processing, intracoronary infusion of stem cells in the infarct-related artery, preand-post MRI, pre-and-post SPECT with radioisotope ventriculography, and clinical follow-up at 6 months. Results: Eight patients with a diagnosis of acute STEMI and duration of symptoms of ≤24 hours that were perfused successfully through primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) with a LVEF of ≤45% were assigned randomly to two groups (n = 4 each). One group treated with stem cells and the other corresponded to the control group. Neither death, re-infarction, no need for revascularization or thrombosis of the stent were observed at follow-up.
