Gender: Both
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Hypertension, Pulmonary
Intervention(s)
Biological: eNOS transfected EPCs will be delivered via a PA line
Primary Outcome(s)
The primary endpoints will be related to the tolerability and safety of injection of genetically engineered progenitor cells in patients with severe PAH. [Time Frame: 5 years]
Secondary Outcome(s)
Potential efficacy of this approach will be assessed by changes in hemodynamic pressures, patient perceived quality of life and exercise capacity [Time Frame: 3 month post cell delivery]
