Apparatus and methods for performing percutaneous myocardial revascularization and stimulating angiogenesis using autologous materials

摘要

Methods are provided for collecting and processing autologous biological materials to form autologous angiogenic agents. Apparatus and methods also are provided for performing percutaneous myocardial revascularization wherein an injection needle is disposed in spaced-apart relation to the channel-forming tool, so that a predetermined amount of the autologous angiogenic agent may be injected into the myocardium adjacent to the PMR channel.
