Methods of using adipose tissue-derived cells in the treatment of cardiovascular conditions

摘要

Cells present in processed lipoaspirate tissue are used to treat patients, including patients with cardiovascular conditions, diseases or disorders. Methods of treating patients include processing adipose tissue to deliver a concentrated amount of stem cells obtained from the adipose tissue to a patient. The methods may be practiced in a closed system so that the stem cells are not exposed to an external environment prior to being administered to a patient. Accordingly, in a preferred method, cells present in processed lipoaspirate are placed directly into a recipient along with such additives necessary to promote, engender or support a therapeutic cardiovascular benefit.
