Abstract:
We present the results of treatment of chronic ischemia of the lower extremities (distal form) with angiogenesis stimulators, autologous endothelioblast precursors (CD133+) and gene preparation of vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF165 (angiostimulin). Good clinical effect was attained in all patients, which was confirmed instrumentally 1, 3, and 6 months after administration of the stimulant: transcutaneous oxygen tension on the foot, index of malleolar pressure, and walking duration increased, parameters of microcirculation improved, the number of newly formed collateral arteries increased (angiography findings), quality of life improved (SF 36 questionnaire), and parameters of coagulogram also improved. The maximum positive dynamics was observed by month 3 of the study.

These agonists bind to the IPR receptor situated on the plasma membrane of the pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. This binding triggers a cascade of reactions known as the GS-AC-cAMP-PKA pathway. This pathway results in the relaxation of smooth muscle...
