A combined cellular and surgical ventricular reconstruction therapeutic approach produces attenuation of remodeling in infarcted rats

Background: Left ventricular reconstruction (LVR) has been shown to provide transient benefits to the LV structure and function of infarcted hearts; however, long-term results have been disappointing as LVR-induced benefits are typically not sustained. We hypothesized that administration of cardiosp...
