The capacity for self-regeneration of the adult heart is very limited, conventional therapies cannot solve the loss of cardiomyocytes in the infarcted heart leads to continuous ventricular remodeling. Cell transplantation therapy is emerging as a novel approach for myocardial repair over conventional therapies. Various types of cell transplantation have improved cardiac function and angiogenesis in animal models and clinical settings. The safety and feasibility of some clinical trials have been initiated. In this review, we summarize the advantages and limitations of different cell types proposed for cell transplantation in myocardial infarction and give an overview of the clinical trials using this novel therapeutic approach in patients with myocardial infarction.
