<jats:p> <jats:bold> <jats:italic>Objective—</jats:italic> </jats:bold> Autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell (BM-MNC) implantation into ischemic tissues promotes angiogenesis, but a large amount of marrow aspiration is required, which is a major clinical limitation. Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) is requisite for vascular maturation during angiogenesis. We examined the impacts of combinatorial Ang-1 gene transfer and low-dose autologous BM-MNC implantation on therapeutic angiogenesis in a rabbit model of hind limb ischemia. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:bold> <jats:italic>Methods and Results—</jats:italic> </jats:bold> Rabbits were divided into 4 groups: phosphate-buffered saline (control), 500 μg Ang-1 plasmid (Ang-1), 1×10 <jats:sup>6</jats:sup> autologous BM-MNCs (BMC), and Ang-1 plasmid plus BM-MNCs (combination). The Ang-1 group had a greater angiographic score and capillary density compared with the control ( <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> <0.05), but the Ang-1 gene therapy alone did not improve transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcO <jats:sub>2</jats:sub> ) and skin ulcer score. However, the combination group showed a significant improvement in not only angiographic score and capillary density ( <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> <0.05) but also TcO <jats:sub>2</jats:sub> ( <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> <0.05) and skin ulcer score. These efficacies were greater in the combination group compared with the BMC group. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:bold> <jats:italic>Conclusions—</jats:italic> </jats:bold> This Ang-1 gene and BM-MNC combination therapy enhances not only quantitative but also qualitative angiogenesis in ischemic tissues. Moreover, the combination therapy will enable a reduction in the amount of BM aspiration required for significant therapeutic angiogenesis. </jats:p>
