Objective To investigate the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) transp1antation combined with transmyocardial drilling revascularization (TMDR) and degradable stent on myocardium revascu1arization after acute myocardial infarction(AMI), and to provide the experimental evidence for surgical treatment of myocardial infarction. Methods After established models of AMI, the 24 pigs were divided into four groups with random number table, 6 pigs each group. Control group: only established models of AMI; MSCs group: AMI immediately followed by MSCs implantation; TMDR combined with stent group: AMI followed by TMDR and absorbable basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) stent implantation; MSCs combined with TMDR and stent group: AMI followed by TMDR and absorbable bFGF stent implantation, and then MSCs implantation. Three months after operation, the infarcted areas and vessel density in infarcted zone were detected by histopathology method. Results Three months after operation, the histopathological examination showed that infarcted areas in MSCs group, TMDR combined with stent group, and MSCs combined with TMDR and ste
nt group were decreased as compared with control group (27.9%±3.1% vs. 48.9%±2.7%,P=0.000;20.3%±1.7% vs. 48.9%±2.7%,P=0.000;12.5%±1.9% vs. 48.9%±2.7%,P=0.000); and vessel density was further increased (8.4±1.2/HP vs.4.5±14/HP,P=CM(1583mm] 0.001;11.5±2.6/HP vs.4.5±1.4/HP,P=0.001;15.6±1.4/HP vs.4.5±1.4/HP,P=0.000). Conclusion [CM)]MSCs transplantation combined with TMDR and absorbable bFGF stents implantation could significantly reduce the infarction areas, increase the vessel density. This method may enhance the efficacy of MSCs transplantation in acute cardiac infarction model, which provide a new ideas for the surgical treatment of myocardial infarction.
