급성 심근경색증이란, 심장의 근육에 혈액을 공급하는 관상동맥이 여러 가지 원인(혈전 등)에 의해 갑자기 막혀서 심장에 산소가 통하지 않아 심장 근육이 괴사되는 질환입니다.
일부 심장근육이 영구적으로 죽게 되어 기능을 상실하게 되고 이럴 경우 심장은 효과적으로 펌프 작용을 하지 못하여 결국 점차 심부전으로 진행되거나 급사에 이르게 됩니다. 이로 인해 차후 치료가 된다 하더라도 가슴통증, 호흡곤란, 부정맥, 심인성 쇼크 등 여러가지 후유장애들이 존재할 수 있습니다.
RE:YOUTH에서는 심장혈관을 통해 심장에 줄기세포를 집중적으로 투여함으로써 심근경색 후유증에 대한 치료가 가능합니다. 이는 동맥 혈관을 통해서 줄기세포 치료가 가능한 RE:YOUTH만의 독보적인 줄기세포 시술입니다.
◎ Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can differentiate into various types of cells. They can differentiate into cells with special functions and differentiate into cells of specific body tissues when necessary. Through repeated division and differentiation processes, cells with the same characteristics as damaged cells, such as nerve cells and heart cells, are created.
In other words, it is a cell with the potential to produce various tissue cells that differentiates into non-regenerative cells and replaces them or induces regeneration.
The stem cell treatment is emerging as a solution to incurable diseases that cannot be cured.
◎ The characteristics of stem cells can be explained by the following three characteristics.
Self-Renewal: Stem cells can create other stem cells with the same form and ability.
Differentiation: A phenomenon in which stem cells become specialized in structure and function according to the needs of the human body. Stem cells exist in an undifferentiated state and have the ability to change into other tissues required by the human body.
Homing Effect: When administered, stem cells have the ability to go to the damaged area on their own.
◎ Functions of Stem Cells:
Wound Treatment: Regenerates damaged cells.
Differentiation: Differentiates into damaged cells to regenerate into normal cells.
Secretory Signals: Enhances growth factors such as collagen and hormones to improve tissue within the body.
Immune Regulation: Normalizes the function of immune-related organs to regulate immunity.
Prevention of Cell Death: Prevents cell apoptosis within the body.
Blood Supply through Angiogenesis: Assists in normal blood supply by regenerating damaged blood vessels.
◎ Stem cell treatment provided by RE:YOUTH is the only treatment in Korea that is performed through the artery.
It is the only treatment in the world that injects stem cells intensively into major organs such as cerebrovascular, cardiac, liver, pancreatic, kidney, and pelvic vessels through arteries.
We can visit the bad part of the patient’s body, that is, the blood vessel that needs stem cell treatment, and directly inject a large amount of stem cells.
This results in dramatic symptom improvement, which has been proven by many patients.
This method and effect is absolutely impossible with stem cells simply administered through a vein.
◎ Blood extracted through arteries is blood that is very rich in oxygen and nutrients, and blood extracted through veins is blood that contains a lot of carbon dioxide and waste products.
Therefore, the quality of stem cells also differs between the arterial blood and venous blood used when extracting stem cells.
◎ Currently, the common stem cell procedure performed in many countries around the world is to inject cultured stem cells intravenously. Arteries cannot do this.
Therefore, about 80% of stem cells are filtered out from the lungs through veins and cannot be administered intensively to body organs.
◎ Autologous bone marrow stem cells have more cells than blood stem cells. However, because there are many fine fat particles, it cannot be injected into the arteries.
Only arteries allow injection of stem cells extracted through arterial blood, so there are no side effects in these cases.
◎ Stem cells extracted through arterial blood contain growth factors (promotes various cell divisions, growth and differentiation, helps differentiate stem cells) and SDF-1α (a protein signaling substance that moves stem cells to the required area, stem cells (essential for the regenerative effect). This shows a superior stem cell treatment effect, which is clearly different when compared to stem cells extracted through venous blood.
It takes about 2 to 3 hours, and you will be moved to a private recovery room to recover for about 3 hours. After recovery, there is no burden to the extent that you can return home the same day and resume your daily life.
◎ As in Q&A questions 2 and 3 above, vascular stem cell treatments performed at other hospitals are all intravenous stem cell treatments. This means that 80% of stem cells are filtered into the lungs, resulting in low effectiveness and function.
However, the stem cell treatment at the hospital guided by RE:YOUTH is stem cell treatment through the aorta, which is the only treatment method in the world, and 100% of the extracted stem cells go to places where they are needed throughout the body.
Many people who have received counseling at other hospitals will have been told that intravenous stem cell injections only need to be administered a few times, but the effects of stem cell treatment at RE:YOUTH-affiliated hospitals are greater than the effects of five intravenous stem cell treatments. Accordingly, the basic price per treatment is relatively high, and this treatment method is only available at RE:YOUTH.
◎ Stem cell treatment through veins is very simple. Therefore, if there are many patients, dozens to hundreds can be treated per day.
However, stem cell treatment through the artery can be performed on only 3 people per day. The level of concentration and quality of the process are very different.
And because recovery takes place in a private recovery room, we do not treat many patients per day.
Basically, the process is different from existing intravenous stem cell treatment, so the basic cost is higher, but the effects are excellent.
◎ On average, the effect appears immediately within about a week. And as time goes by, you can feel your physical condition getting better. For severe and incurable diseases, further observation is required depending on the patient’s condition.
◎ The erectile dysfunction treatment provided by RE:YOUTH is the world’s only treatment method that improves the blood vessels of the genitals, which are the root of male erection.
Erectile dysfunction is resolved without the help of drugs such as Viagra or Cialis, and although there are individual differences, on average, erectile function is restored to that of people in their 30s.
There is a 100% chance that his erectile dysfunction will improve.
We are proud of this treatment as we have experience treating many patients, and it is the most innovative treatment method in the world.
We aim to fundamentally improve blood vessels in the male genitals, rather than focusing blood flow due to simple implant insertion or drug prescription.
There are also cases where the basic size of the penis has increased compared to the current size due to increased basic blood flow.
Patients who received treatment are no longer taking supplements such as Viagra, Cialis, and Kamagra, which they used to take.
If you trust us to recover from erectile dysfunction, we will surely restore it with the only treatment in the world.
◎ Erectile dysfunction treatment is first carried out at a ‘vascular clinic’, separate from stem cell injection.
This is basically vascular treatment, and of course, it is even more effective when combined with arterial blood stem cell treatment.
The effect is that stem cells are injected into blood vessels such as the prostate, seminal vesicles, and genitals, and through this, the semen, which is transparent and different from when young, which is a symptom of most men after middle age, is now dark white as before. Improvements such as return are made.
Accordingly, it is highly recommended that arterial blood stem cell therapy be combined with vascular treatment for erectile dysfunction.
◎ Residual urine sensation, one of the chronic diseases of adult men, is also improved.
The strength of urine also improves to the same level as when you were younger due to the normalization of genital blood vessels, making it possible to excrete urine in a refreshing manner.
◎ Our director Byeong-hee Lee is a doctor who is well-versed in over 10,000 vascular surgeries and cerebrovascular surgeries. He has outstanding experience, including being the first in Korea to perform cerebrovascular stent surgery related to vascular treatment.
In addition, all patients who underwent several rounds of arterial stem cell treatment, including this one, received the treatment safely, and patients in their 70s and 80s also underwent the treatment without any problems and enjoyed clear results, so there’s no need to worry.
