The experience with direct myocardial injection of adenovirus encoding angiogenic growth factor is limited to invasive surgical approach. Accordingly, we sought to evaluate, for the first time, in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase I pilot study the safety and feasibility of percutaneous catheter-based intramyocardial delivery of a replication-deficient adenovector encoding the 121-amino-acid isoform of vascular endothelial growth factor (AdVEGF121).
