And, we are now performing the first in human trials of this technique," he added.

 "The use of interventional radiology for the delivery of regenerative therapies, such as stem cells, can lead to other minimally invasive procedures associated with potential symptom relief and decreased cost and complications associated with open surgery," Prologo stated. "This research may serve as a precedent for a wide variety of stem cell applications in humans through interventional radiology," he said.
