High incidence of peripheral artery disease and limited possibilities of either open or endovascular methods of treatment, as well as low efficacy of medicamentous treatment of this pathology compel the professionals concerned to search for new methods of treatment aimed at improving the condition of the distal arterial bed, decreasing peripheral resistance and stimulating the development of the capillary network. One of the possible ways to solve this problem is the use of cellular technologies for stimulating angiogenesis. This novel and rather promising method consists in using autologous cell therapy in treatment of peripheral arterial diseases.
