Abstract:
With the population aging, diet changing and incveasing risk factors on vascular disease, the lower extremity ischemic disease has become a frequently occurring disease of older person, and it is the main reason for amputation disability. In the 21st century the stem cells transplantation is one of the most advanced technologies and has been applied quickly to clinical therapy, regarded as a radical treatment of lower extremity ischemic disease. Endothelial progenitor cells have gradually become a new direction and a new research focus because of its unique biological characteristics in the treatment of this disease. This article focuses on endothelial progenitor cells in treating extremity ischemia lesions on the theoretical basis and research developments.
