5. Conclusions

Epicardial transplantation of skeletal myoblasts in conjunction with a CABG or LVAD procedure is feasible and safe, and it does not appear that 116 Edward B. Diethrich cell transplantation poses a substantial risk of life-threatening arrhythmia in this small evaluation. Further study of the efficacy of myoblast transplantation is warranted, and we are now involved in investigations of catheterbased delivery systems and imaging protocols that support percutaneous skeletal myoblast transplantation (as described in “Percutaneous Myoblast Transplantation”, chapter 14 of this text).
