OBJECTIVE: We examined the safety and efficacy of controlled-release basic fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF) for peripheral artery disease (PAD), compared with autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell implantation (BMCI). BACKGROUND: We recently developed a b-FGF-incorporated biodegradable hydrogel that enables slow-releasing drug delivery system. METHODS: PAD patients were divided into a b-FGF group (n=10) and BMCI group (n=15). Injection of gelatin hydrogel containing 600 μg b-FGF or BMCI (0.4-5.1×10(10) cell) was performed. Visual analog pain scale (VAS), (99m)technetium-tetrofosmin (Tc-TF) scintigraphy, transcutaneous oxygen tension (TcPO(2)), and ankle-brachial index (ABI) were evaluated before and 4 weeks after each treatment, and 2-year prognosis was determined. RESULTS: VAS (b-FGF 67±15 to 4±5, p<0.01, BMCI 67±42 to 5±9 mm, p<0.01) and TcPO(2) (b-FGF 16±14 to 47±17, p<0.01, BMCI 13±13 to 37±21 mmHg, p<0.01) were significantly improved in both groups. Tc-TF and ABI were not changed. Prognosis was similar between the groups (b-FGF 91%, BMCI 80%, NS). CONCLUSION: Controlled-release b-FGF is as safe as BMCI, and its efficacy appears to be comparable. Thus, this therapy may be an alternative to BMCI.
