This study was designed to evaluate the effect of smooth muscle cell transplantation into myocardial ventricular scar formed by cryo-necrosis. The left ventricular free wall (LVFW) of adult rats was cryo-necrosed. At 4 weeks alter cryo-injury cultured fetal rat stomach smooth muscle cells (transplanted group, n=10) or culture medium (control, n = 10) were transplanted. Sham animals (n = 8) were similarly operated but without cryo-necrosis and transplantation. The animals were administered a daily maintenance dose of cyclosporin A (5 mg/kg). At 8 weeks after cryo-injury, he art function was evaluated using a Langendorff preparation. Myocardial scar and transplanted cells were assessed histologically. Transplanted smooth muscle cells survived and formed smooth muscle cell tissue. as assessed by immunostaining against smooth muscle cell actin, within the myocardial scar. In the control hearts no muscle tissue was found in the scar. Angiogenesis occur-ed (P
