Abstract:
An increasing number of patients with advanced coronary artery disease remain symptomatic, despite maximal interventional or medical treatment. A high demand exists for alternative anti-anginal therapies and ways to improve survival. One of the most intriguing new approaches to increase blood flow to ischemic myocardium is therapeutic angiogenesis, the induction of new vessel growth. Current methods involve local angiogenic growth factor administration, transfection of genes expressing angiogenic proteins, or direct myocardial revascularization. These new therapeutics are undergoing intensive basic and clinical investigation.

The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
