About this trial
The goal of this observational, practice-based feasibility study is to observe the efficacy and safety of intramuscular administration of Stempeucel® in Malaysian patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) due to Buerger's disease. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Can intramuscular administration of Stempeucel® reduce symptoms of CLI due to Buerger's disease while improving the healing rate and functional outcomes? * Does intramuscular administration of Stempeucel® causes any serious adverse events in CLI due to Buerger's disease patients? Study patients will be assessed by the PI before administering the Stempeucel® for any other organ with inflammation. The study patients will also be followed up to the duration of 1 year after study treatment administration for safety and efficacy assessment.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers

Patients eligible for surgical or percutaneous revascularization
Patients with a history of participating in another stem cell trial or therapy within 3 months
Patients who are unsuitable to participate the clinical trial as determined by investigators
Trial design
