Abstract

We treated a patient with type 2 diabetes suffering from chronic venous and neuro-ischemic wounds not healing under standard care with local application of autologous bone marrow cells (mBMC) isolated from bone marrow aspirate. This procedure led to a reduction of wound size, a markedly increased vascularization and infiltration of mononuclear cells, 7 days after treatment, without any signs of a systemic reaction to treatment. Locally applied mBMC could, therefore, provide a treatment option in end stage diabetic wound healing disorders.
