| AMR-001 is an autologous bone marrow-derived cell product being tested to determine if its infusion into the coronary (heart) artery after myocardial infarct can restore heart muscle function in tissue damaged by the heart attack. JETSTENT, AngioJet Rheolytic Thrombectomy Before Direct Infarct Artery Stenting in Patients Undergoing Primary PCI for Acute Myocardial Infarction, will measure final myocardial infarct size in patients with angiographically evident thrombus who receive interventional treatment for acute myocardial infarction, comparing patients treated with Angiojet(R) thrombectomy prior to direct stenting to patients treated with direct stenting alone. The approval came on the heels of years of clinical trials showing that the standardized extract significantly reduced myocardial infarct size (the portion of the heart muscle that is damaged by insufficient blood supply) and lessened myocardial injury, lowered the oxygen consumption of the heart muscle in tissue and animal studies, and reduced platelet aggregation (blood cell stickiness) and thrombosis (blood clot) formation. |
