An interdisciplinary panel of pioneers and opinion leaders review the basic, preclinical, clinical, and developmental pathways to new treatment strategies, such as therapeutic angiogenesis and myogenesis. The authors take advantage of new biological understanding, novel therapeu…
Despite the rapid progress in surgical and catheter-based revascularization, an alternative treatment strategy is needed for the ever-increasing number of patients who are either not candidates for these therapies or remain symptomatic after revascularization and maximal ongoing…
Angiogenesis is the growth of new blood vessels and is an important natural process in the body. A healthy body maintains a perfect balance of angiogenesis modulators. In many serious disease states, however, the body loses control over angiogenesis. Diseases that are angiogenes…
This is among the first books on Therapeutic Angiogenesis giving a comprehensive overview from the basic molecular aspects to clinical applications of various therapeutic principles (i.e. growth factor protein delivery, gene therapy and transmyocardial laser application) aimed a…

Covers the topic of collateral circulation and its structure and function; its molecular mechanisms during the course of critical arterial stenosis; and how it can be stimulated by physical and growth factors. Animal models are covered in this volume as they reproduce the clinic…
