This research study was designed to test the safety and effectiveness of autologous stem cell graft in the myocardium of patients with refractory Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) with ischemic etiology. Cellular implantation will take place during off-pump revascularization surgery or during an ad hoc procedure using a mini-thoracotomy access.
Primary target: determine the safety of introducing CD 34+ autologous progenitor cells (centrally grafted or mobilized in peripheral blood) in the myocardium of ischemic cardiac disease patients. Secondary target: determine clinical effects of grafted cells on remodeling pathology.
