title: [Regeneration therapy by cell transplantation for acute coronary syndrome].
abstract: Despite a great progress of modern reperfusion strategies in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), ischemic heart disease is still a leading course of mortality in the developed countries. Cell therapy is a promising option to treat ischemic heart disease refractory to conventional treatments. In particular, adult stem cells have been identified and used to clinical cases. Although the detail mechanisms to repair adult heart need further investigation, several clinical studies suggest its safety and feasibility. Current large-scale randomized study will reveal optimal strategy of cell therapy for the patients with ACS.
