Future or Investigational Therapies

Therapeutic angiogenesis

  • Patients with ischemic pain or non-healing ulcers may benefit from therapeutic angiogenesis that uses grow factors, such as intramuscular vascular endothelial growth factor, or through the introduction of a Kirschner wire placed in the medullary canal of the tibia (distraction osteogenesis) in order to promote the generation of blood vessels.[1] [2][3][4]
  • Therapeutic angiogenesis has also demonstrated that it may reduce the occurrence of nocturnal resting pain.

Autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell implantation

  • When traditional revascularization interventions have failed in those with severe peripheral artery disease, autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell implantation may be performed.[1]
  • Autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell implantation may be able to relieve ischemic pain symptoms and decrease ulcer size, whilst increasing walking distance.

Immunoabsorption therapy, bosentan and cilostazol
