Schematic of stem cell delivery methods for various SCT applications: in cardiac repair, stem cells are either delivered through the vena cava or coronary artery for intracoronary application. Transcoronary sinus or transendocardial or direct injection is used for intramyocardial applications. Reproduced courtesy of Elsevier Publishing group [51].
