Therapeutic Arteriogenesis by Ultrasound-Mediated VEGF165 Plasmid Gene Delivery to Chronically Ischemic Skeletal Muscle

Abstract

Current methods of gene delivery for therapeutic angiogenesis are invasive, requiring either intraarterial or intramuscular administration. A noninvasive method of gene delivery has been developed using ultrasound-mediated destruction of intravenously administered DNA-bearing carrier microbubbles during their microcirculatory transit. Here we show that chronic ischemia could be markedly improved by ultrasound-mediated destruction of …
