The trial, just underway at UW Hospital and Clinics, is enrolling subjects in the Autologous Cellular Therapy CD34-Chronic Myocardial Ischemia (ACT34-CMI) Trial. The first patient underwent the procedure March 7. Because the study is randomized and “double-blinded,” however, neither the patient nor the research doctor knows if he received his own stem cells or a placebo substance……..
