30,000 Volt Electrocution - Case Study

Mesenchymal Stem Cells Heal a Large Foot Ulcer Resulting From a 30,000 Volt Electrocution

Foot ulcer Stem Cells Case Study

Published in the International Society for Stem Cell Application ISSCA Magazine in April of 2018; Dr. Leslie Mesen from the Stem Cells Transplant Institute shares a case study showing the significant healing effect stem cell therapy provided a patient that suffered a very serious wound following a shock from 30,000 volts of electricity.

Juan is a 45-year old electrician who suffered a 30,000 volt shock when his left arm contacted a high tension power line. The current travelled down the back of his left leg and exited via a 12cmx10cm wound on the dorsal aspect of his left foot leaving the underlying structures exposed. He subsequently fell from the platform and spent 2 months in hospital.

Three months after his injury, he was scheduled for a Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) autologous stem cell procedure because his foot ulcer had not healed from traditional treatment. Four weeks after the first procedure, the ulcer showed significant improvement with (70%) closure and clear new growth visible around the ulcer. To further stimulate healing, Dr. Mesen and his team performed an activated platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy procedure. Two weeks after PRP Juan was walking in shoes. The team performed a final stem cell procedure and over a total period of five weeks, the ulcer closed. The patient is feeling great and is able to return to work.

Stem cell therapy provided a level of healing that would not have been achieved through traditional treatment options. It prevented the potential of developing gangrenous necrosis that could have cost him his limb. He gained complete mobility and was able to return to his daily activities.
