This procedure has been done for quite awhile as an out patient basis at the University of Frankfurt, Medical School’s dept of cardiology. In this case the creator of this procedure used the patients own stems cells to a 45yr old male patients badly damaged heart after a nasty coronary and over a period of 6 months by injecting these stem cells into the damaged area of the heart brought heart efficiency back to almost 50%. This was a documentary shown by PBS in the year 2000. By that time the University of Frankfurt had successfully completed about 500 of these procedures.

Correction: The left ventricular efficiency to almost 50%.
