Armed with an improved understanding of the mediators of angiogenesis, physicians and scientists have made significant efforts at harnessing this naturally occurring process in order to treat patients with a variety of peripheral vascular and coronary ischemic syndromes. There is a growing population of patients with end-stage coronary artery disease (CAD) who are no longer candidates for mechanical revascularization, yet suffer from chronic myocardial ischemia who may benefit from regeneration of the depleted microvasculature.
凭借对血管生成介质的深入了解,医生和科学家们为利用这一自然过程付出了巨大努力,以治疗各种外周血管和冠状动脉缺血综合征患者。越来越多终末期冠状动脉疾病(CAD)患者不再适合进行机械血运重建,但患有慢性心肌缺血,他们可能从枯竭的微血管再生中获益。
