(1) Background: The treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is focused on improving perfusion and oxygenation in the affected limb. Standard revascularization methods include bypass surgery, endovascular interventional procedures, or hybrid revascularization. Cell-based therapy can be an alternative strategy for patients with no-option critical limb ischemia who are not eligible for endovascular or surgical procedures. (2) Aims: The aim of this narrative review was to provide an up-to-date critical overview of the knowledge and evidence-based medicine data on the position of cell therapy in the treatment of PAD. The current evidence on the cell-based therapy is summarized and future perspectives outlined, emphasizing the potential of exosomal cell-free approaches in patients with critical limb ischemia. (3) Methods: Cochrane and PubMed databases were searched for keywords "critical limb ischemia and cell therapy". In total, 589 papers were identified, 11 of which were reviews and 11 were meta-analyses. These were used as the primary source of information, using cross-referencing for identification of additional papers. (4) Results: Meta-analyses focusing on cell therapy in PAD treatment confirm significantly greater odds of limb salvage in the first year after the cell therapy administration. Reported odds ratio estimates of preventing amputation being mostly in the region 1.6-3, although with a prolonged observation period, it seems that the odds ratio can grow even further. The odds of wound healing were at least two times higher when compared with the standard conservative therapy. Secondary endpoints of the available meta-analyses are also included in this review. Improvement of perfusion and oxygenation parameters in the affected limb, pain regression, and claudication interval prolongation are discussed. (5) Conclusions: The available evidence-based medicine data show that this technique is safe, associated with minimum complications or adverse events, and effective.
(1) 背景:外周动脉疾病 (PAD) 的治疗重点是改善受影响肢体的灌注和氧合。标准的血运重建方法包括旁路手术、血管内介入治疗或杂交血运重建。对于不适合血管内或手术治疗的无选择关键肢体缺血患者,细胞治疗可能是一种替代策略。(2) 目的:本叙述性综述的目的是提供对外周动脉疾病治疗中细胞治疗的知识和循证医学数据的最新批判性概述。总结了当前基于细胞的治疗的证据,并概述了未来的观点,强调了细胞外囊泡无细胞方法在关键肢体缺血患者中的潜在应用。(3) 方法:在 Cochrane 和 PubMed 数据库中搜索关键词“关键肢体缺血和细胞治疗”。共确定了 589 篇论文,其中 11 篇为综述,11 篇为荟萃分析。这些被用作主要信息来源,并通过交叉引用确定了其他论文。(4) 结果:荟萃分析集中在细胞治疗治疗 PAD 上,证实细胞治疗后第一年肢体存活率显著提高。报告的防止截肢的优势比估计值大多在 1.6-3 之间,尽管观察期延长,似乎优势比可以进一步增加。与标准保守治疗相比,伤口愈合的几率至少高出两倍。本综述还包括现有荟萃分析的次要终点。讨论了受影响肢体灌注和氧合参数的改善、疼痛消退和跛行间隔延长。(5) 结论:现有的循证医学数据表明,该技术安全,并发症或不良事件最少,且有效。
