VesCell™ for Heart Disease |

|
TheraVitae’s initial product- VesCell™ stem cell therapy for heart disease is now being used to improve the quality of life of patients suffering from coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy. Symptoms such as severe angina pectoris (chest pain) and shortness of breath are relieved.
VesCell™ uses a special process that differentiates the stem cells so that they can build additional blood flow to and from the heart by creating new blood vessels and new heart muscle. While VesCell™ stem cell treatment may not cure heart disease, it can substantially improve the flow of blood, thus reducing chest pains and sharply increasing physical capacity. The quality of life for many of those treated has increased noticeably, and in their words, "have a new lease on life." Many activities enjoyed before their illness have once again become possible and enjoyable. For some patients, VesCell™ stem cell therapy can be used in conjunction with other techniques, such as CABG and angioplasty. The stem cell treatment has proven to be both safe and beneficial.
