Objective: This study is a long-term follow-up of our previous phase I clinical trial and aims at evaluating the long-term safety and efficacy of intracoronary Ad-HGF administration for treating coronary disease.
Methods: This study includes 22 patients (11 in the experiment group and 11 in the control group) with diffused and severe coronary disease who had received the optimal standardized medication therapy and was not amenable to revascularization. Intracoronary Ad-HGF gene transfer was administered to the distal part of the accessible artery by over-the wire balloon or at the ostium of the target vessels by diagnostic coronary catheter in the experiment group. Safety parameters were measured and compared between baseline and follow-ups (5-week; 12-month; 36- month) only in the experiment group. The changes of efficacy parameters (ejecti.. View More»
