Long-Term Evaluation of Bilateral Fetal Nigral Transplantation in Parkinson Disease Arch Neurol 56:179-187, Hauser,R.A.,et al, 1999 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Fetal nigral tissue can be transplanted into the postcommissural putamen bilaterally in patients with advanced PD safely and with little morbidity. In this open-label pilot study, we observed consistent long term clinical benefit and increased fluorodopa uptake on positron emission tomography. Clinical improvement appears to be related to the survival and function of transplanted fetal tissue.
