“…A potential explanation for the latter finding may be that early reperfusion after AMI leads to lower infarct transmurality but not to a lower infarct size or to less microvascular obstruction, as shown previously. 17 In agreement with the results of a smaller trial, 18 we suggest that in patients with complete transmural scar, BM-MNC treatment may be less beneficial. Further analyses of the 12-month CMR data, currently under way, will reveal whether remodeling is favorably affected by BM-MNC therapy in the long run.…”

“…The differences might be explained by a variation in responses due to differing severity of cryoinjuries. In accord with this, another group (Muller-Ehmsen et al, 2012) explored the role of infarct transmurality on the therapeutic effect of bone marrow mononuclear cells after myocardial infarction and showed scar size reduction and improved myocardial function only in patients with non-transmural myocardial infarcts but not transmural lesions.…”
