Abstract
Methods and compositions comprising a biomaterial that are useful for treating a subject with a condition are described. More specifically, methods of treating a subject with a cardiovascular condition comprising delivering a biomaterial comprising extracellular matrix, and delivering a therapeutic cardiac device or therapeutic agents to the subject are described. In addition, methods of delivering extracellular matrix to a subject are also described.
Claims21
A method of treating a subject with an acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) comprising injecting a biomaterial to the heart of the subject, wherein the total volume of the biomaterial injected is 1-10 ml.
A method of delivering extracellular matrix (ECM) to a subject comprising:
- a. delivering a first composition in a liquid form to the subject, wherein the first composition comprises the ECM or components derived from the ECM;
- and
- b. delivering a second composition in a liquid to the subject such that a portion of the second composition contacts a portion of the first composition within the subject;
- wherein the ECM forms a gel after the contacting of the first composition with the second composition.
