Figure 2From: Hybrid approach of ventricular assist device and autologous bone marrow stem cells implantation in end-stage ischemic heart failure enhances myocardial reperfusionIntraoperative view showing clinical application of stem cells into the failing heart with multiple targeted injections following device insertion. Note the outflow graft (1) connected to the device (2) which has been implanted into the left ventricular apex (3). Stem cells injectate (4) was administered through a small needle (5) into the myocardium.Back to article page
