Brief Summary

This is a open label study to assess the safety of autologous bone marrow transplantation in patients with a ischemic stroke in the middle cerebral artery territory within 90 days from symptoms onset.

Detailed Description

Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of intra-arterial and intravenous injection of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells in patients in the acute and sub-...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • clinical diagnosis of ischemic stroke lasting for more than 3 hours and less than 90 days from symptoms onset

  • age between 18 and 75 years old
  • NIHSS between 4 and 20
  • spontaneous re-canalization of the middle cerebral artery documented by TCD or MRI
  • signed informed consent

Exclusion

  • difficult in obtaining vascular access for percutaneous procedures
  • vascular impossibility to reach the middle cerebral artery through percutaneous approach
  • severe carotid stenosis( \>70%, by Doppler) related to the severe stroke
  • neurological worsening (\>4 points in the NIHSS ) due to edema or intracerebral hemorrhage
  • primary hematological disease
  • neurodegenerative disorder
  • previous stroke with mRS \> 2
  • intracardiac thrombosis
  • auto-imune disorders
  • osteopathies that could increase the risk of bone marrow harvesting procedure
  • thrombophilias
  • liver failure
  • chronic renal failure (creatinine \> 2mg/ml)
  • life support dependence
  • lacunar stroke
  • pregnancy
  • history of neoplasia or other comorbidity that could impact patient's short-term survival
