Abstract
In this manuscript, we describe the potential role of the pericardial space
as a drug delivery reservoir to administer angiogenic agents to the heart
resulting in functionally significant angiogenesis with single bolus basic
fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) delivery. We also describe a percutaneous s
ubxyphoid pericardial access technique that is safe, rapid, and reliable.
