The de-novo formation of vessels (angiogenesis) and the remodelling of preexisting collateral vessels (arteriogenesis) are processes that occur naturally in ischemic heart disease. Promoting these processes by administration of various substances or other physical stimuli (therapeutic angiogenesis) may provide a future strategy for the treatment of ischemic vascular diseases. Mechanisms of angiogenesis and arteriogenesis, as well as trials of therapeutic angiogenesis in animal models and humans are reviewed.
