  Introduction: There is a high incidence of Peripheral Obstructive Arterial Disease (POAD) in patients with atherosclerosis. In more complex cases for which surgical revascularization is not possible, the only option involves clinical treatment that in the majority of cases evolves to amputation of the limb. Transplant of mononuclear stem cells from bone marrow has presented favorable results in chronic obstructions. Objective: To perform a functional analysis of the effect of bone marrow mononuclear stem cell transplant on acute arterial occlusion immediately and 48 hours after occlusion, comparing between groups and with controls. Materials and methods: Twenty New Zealand rabbits were anesthetized with ketamine and xylazine (50 mg/ kg) and underwent occlusion of the right iliac artery. Those animals that presented abs..
