We provide treatment for arteriosclerosis using autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells.
Purpose of Treatment
This treatment aims to “rejuvenate blood vessels” or “promote the regeneration of damaged blood vessels.”
What Is Arteriosclerosis?
Arteriosclerosis is called a “silent disease,” progressing gradually without symptoms. As blood vessels become hard and narrow without a person noticing, they may lead to life-threatening conditions such as:
Cerebral Infarction
Myocardial Infarction
Impaired Blood Flow in the Legs (Intermittent Claudication and Lower-Limb Ischemia)
It is also closely associated with lifestyle-related diseases such as hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes.
Early detection, lifestyle changes and appropriate treatment are very important.
Current Treatment
The basis of treatment for arteriosclerosis is lifestyle modification and drug therapy.
Lifestyle Modification
Exercise
Smoking Cessation
Diet
Weight Management
＋
Drug Therapy
Blood Pressure-Lowering Medicines
Cholesterol-Lowering Medicines
Medicines to Control Blood Glucose
Slowing Disease Progression
Catheter-based treatment is indicated in severe cases, but it is not suitable for everyone, and restenosis is also a concern.
Expected Effects
The following have been reported as expected effects:
Improved Vascular Endothelial Function
Suppression of Chronic Inflammation
Improved Blood Flow
Slowing the Progression of Arteriosclerosis
Relief of Coldness, Numbness and Walking Difficulties in the Legs
Reduced Risk of Future Complications
These treatments do not restore the blood vessels themselves to their original state.
By “creating an environment for blood vessel repair,”
the aim is to enhance vascular function throughout the body.
