Abstrakt: The shortage of donor organs for cardiac transplantation continues to fuel the search for alternatives to the transplantation of human heart allografts[1],[2]. To alleviate this profound cardiac donor shortage, attention has recently focused on the use of biological and mechanical assist devices for permanent implantation[3],[5] and xenogeneic whole organ transplants. Therapies to repair damaged hearts are also gaining acceptance, such as high-risk coronary bypass grafting and transmyocardial laser revascularization[6],[7] Cell transplantation is one method of augmenting these repair processes.
