Prospects for stromal-vascular fraction in the treatment of lower limb ischemia

Stromal vascular fraction is a heterogeneous cell population with significant regenerative potential harvested from adipose tissue. Its cells stimulate angiogenesis, have anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects, stimulate cell growth and differentiation. This review highlights the mechanisms of action, as well as possibilities and results of local application of stromal vascular fraction in lower limb ischemia. Prospects of stromal vascular fraction for the treatment of lower limb ischemia are presented.
