Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> The safety of intra-coronary delivery of autologous CD34+ cells in patients with severely and diffusely atherosclerotic obstructive CAD who are not candidates for PCI and CABG and unsatisfactory medical treated result<br> Patients will be monitored for any severe adverse events (mortality, malignant arrhythmia, stroke, myocardial infarction and re-admission for congestive heart failure) during hospitalization and follow-up at OPD in the 1st week, 1st month, and per 3 months for one year after therapy.<br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> 1. The efficacy and optimal dose of autologous intra-coronary CD34+ cell therapy on improving degree of angina pectoris<br> 2. Quality of Life - Short Form (SF-36)<br> 3. LV Function<br> 4. Clinical outcome in patients with severe-diffuse CAD<br> 5. Degree of angina pectoris with Canadian Cardiovascular Society class II- IV angina<br><br> Measured at week one, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months<br>
