Isolated tricuspid stenosis: report of a case submitted to valvular commissurotomy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Until now there were no clinical studies or systematic reviews to investigate the impact of timing on efficacy and safety of intracoronary bone marrow stem cell (BMSC) transfer in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). HYPOTHESIS:Timing of BMSC administration might play an important role in the th...
