Abstract
A process is described for cellular repair of failing tissue of an organ if a patient's body. In the process, a catheter is positioned to provide an entry point for stem cell injection at the proximal end of the central lumen of the catheter external to the body and an exit point from the central lumen at the distal end proximate the site of the failing tissue. Stem cells are then injected through the catheter to invade the failing tissue at the site, while local forces at the site are quelled from disrupting migration of the stem cells into the failing tissue, to enhance the concentration of the stem cells and the pressure arising from the injection at the site and thereby overcome any barrier between the site of the injection and the failing tissue. Preferably, autologous adult stem cells are used in the procedure.
