ABSTRACT
Angiogenesis consists of the induction of new capillars. Coronary angiogenesis stands out as a probable useful resource in patients with advanced coronary disease in which surgical revascularization or angioplasthy aren’t possible. Capillar induction can be achieved by administration of several humoral factors, such as vascular endothelium-derived growth factors and fibroblasts growth factor.
