Limb ischemia
Autologous Adipose-derived Stromal Stem Cell Implantation to
Resolve Critical Limb Ischemia: Case Report
What’s important here?
Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a debilitating condition for which limited therapeutic options exist. Characterized by ischemia of the lower limb due to vascular deficiency, attempts have been made to stimulate angiogenesis utilizing cell and gene-based approaches. Adipose stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells are a practical source of autologous tissue that can be prepared inexpensively in a same-day procedure.

Recent studies have demonstrated SVF to be highly angiogenic, as well as clinically safe in a variety of contexts. Here, we describe the rationale and, to our knowledge, the first successful clinical implementation of autologous SVF cells for the treatment of a no-option CLI patient.
