  • Dr. Yuki Ichihara, Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Tokyo Women's Medical University, presented his experience of two patients in the LAPiS study and according to the presentation, the cell transplantation went smoothly, and the immunosuppressants management proceeded without major complications, and improvement in cardiac function was observed.
  • Dr. Ichihara stated, “Among ischaemic heart failure patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), we have experienced that LVEF does not improve after coronary artery bypass surgery, especially in severe cases with little remaining myocardium.
