Objective  To evaluate the clinical efficacy of t ransplantation of autologous peripheral blood stem
cells ( PBSC) for the t reatment of lower limb arterial ischemic disease. Methods  From March 2004 to February
2007 , 16 patient s with severe lower limb arterial ischemic disease were t reated with autologous PBSC t ransplantation. Recombinated granulocytecolony stimulating factor ( G2CSF) was used to mobilize the proliferation of bone
marrow stem cells and then the stem cells were released into peripheral blood. Af ter 5 - 6 days , PBSC were collected by CS23000 PLUS blood2cells separator. Such concent rated stem cells fluid was int ramuscularly injected into the
ischemic areas of the lower limbs. Results  The result s of 3 to 242month following2up after the t ransplantation of
stem cells showed that the resting pains of the affected limb were greatly relieved , and ulcers were healed. The distance and duration of intermittent limping became farther and longer. Conclusion  Transplantation of autologous
PBSC would be a novel and effective method for the t reatment of arterial ischemic disease. However , this method is
still at the stage of initial clinical application , so it still need to be further studied.
