Abstract
Cells present in processed lipoaspirate tissue are used to treat patients, including patients with cardiovascular conditions, diseases or disorders. Methods of treating patients include processing adipose tissue to deliver a concentrated amount of stem cells obtained from the adipose tissue to a patient. The methods may be practiced in a closed system so that the stem cells are not exposed to an external environment prior to being administered to a patient. Accordingly, in a preferred method, cells present in processed lipoaspirate are placed directly into a recipient along with such additives necessary to promote, engender or support a therapeutic cardiovascular benefit.

- 30. A method for treating a disorder characterized by insufficient cardiac function in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a composition comprising adipose derived cells, wherein the composition is administered to the same subject from which the adipose tissue was originally harvested.
- 44. A method of treating tissue ischemia in a subject comprising delivering a composition comprising adipose derived cells to an area of tissue in an amount effective to treat the ischemia by forming blood vessels that remain stable after the delivered composition is no longer present.
- 54. A method of treating tissue ischemia in a subject comprising delivering a composition comprising adipose derived cells to an area of tissue in an amount effective to treat the ischemia by expanding the blood carrying capacity of pre-existing blood vessels that remain stable after the delivered composition is no longer present.
- 63. A method for promoting angiogenesis comprising contacting a localized area of tissue with a composition comprising adipose derived cells such that angiogenesis within the area of tissue is induced.
- 70. A method for promoting arteriogenesis comprising contacting a localized area of tissue with a composition comprising adipose derived cells such that arteriogenesis within the area of tissue is induced.
- 77. A method for promoting muscle cell growth comprising contacting a localized area of tissue with a composition comprising adipose derived cells such that muscle cell growth within the area of tissue is induced.
