Named after specialists of the Russian Scientific Surgery Center. Akkadian BV Petrovsky uses cells from the patient’s own fatty tissue to further initiate the regeneration process and restore blood flow in various diseases. Named Deputy Director of Scientific Work of the Russian Scientific Surgery Center. Akkadian BV Petrovsky Ilya Eremin.

“First of all, we take a small portion (about 100 ml) of subcutaneous fat from the body and process it under sterile conditions in a special laboratory to obtain and apply the stromal vascular fraction of the cells (hereinafter referred to as SVF). It is presented to the patient as a therapeutic agent that triggers tissue regeneration. The entire treatment procedure can be performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis as part of a day hospital,” explained Eremin.

Adipose tissue contains multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MMSCs), which resemble bone marrow stem cells in their properties. Additionally, fat tissue contains 2500 times more stromal cells per unit volume than bone marrow. This fraction also includes cells in the inner lining of blood vessels, smooth muscle cells, tissue macrophages, and leukocytes.

“As it is known, the mechanism of action of “stem” cells or MMSCs occurs through the production of numerous growth factors and primarily aims to stimulate the formation of new vessels. Additionally, the uniqueness of SVF lies in the fact that both MMSCs and the target cells for the growth factors they produce are present in a single product, and the combination of these cells is “physiological” for each patient, as neither cell population is created artificially. It increases during the production process and its properties do not change,” said the expert.
