About the clinic

RE:YOUTH (Yonsei BH Arterial Stemcell Clinic) offers care for stroke complications in South Korea, including arterial stem cell therapy. Dr. Lee Byung-hee has over 30 years of experience and has performed 10,000+ endovascular procedures. CT imaging may cost around $500–$1,500.

CT and Philips Azurion diagnostics

Assessment can include a pre-treatment consultation, CT imaging, and digital angiography. The clinic uses Philips Azurion 5M 20 or Azurion A50 equipment to assess blood vessels.

CT imaging: Supports assessment after an ischemic stroke.
Digital angiography: Provides images of blood vessels before treatment.
Pre-treatment consultation: Takes place before the procedure.

Arterial stem cell therapy for stroke complications

The clinic is the only one in Korea offering arterial stem cell therapy, in partnership with Yonsei BH Clinic. The treatment uses the patient’s own blood-forming stem cells. Staff extract them from arterial blood, prepare them, and deliver them by catheter into affected brain vessels.

The procedure uses a SMART M-CELL4 extraction machine, an aortic catheter, and Philips Azurion imaging. Stem cell injection takes about 2 hours, followed by 2–3 hours of recovery in a private room. Discharge is on the same day, and patients may return to daily activities about 3 hours after the procedure. Treatment typically involves one session.

The therapy is offered for post-stroke effects such as weakness on one side, speech or vision problems, dizziness, and loss of consciousness. Listed complications also include impaired walking, pneumonia, heart conditions, lower-limb vessel narrowing or blockage, falls, fractures, bedsores, and sepsis. The clinic describes immune rejection risk as minimal because the cells come from the patient.

The clinic reports that arterial delivery sends 100% of stem cells to the target organ, compared with about 80% filtered out in the lungs during intravenous delivery.

Dr. Lee Byung-hee’s vascular experience

Dr. Lee Byung-hee is a cerebrovascular and endovascular specialist with 45,000+ vascular examinations. He performed Korea’s first carotid artery stenting in 1997 and intracranial cerebrovascular stenting in 1998. Dr. Lee is a founding member of the Korean Stroke Society and the Korean Society of Neurointervention. The clinic is KOIHA-accredited and limits intake to two patients daily.

Republic of Korea, Cheonan

RE:YOUTH, in partnership with Yonsei BH Clinic, is the only institution in Korea offering arterial stem cell therapy. Unlike conventional IV treatments, which distribute stem cells randomly, this exclusive arterial approach delivers 100% of stem cells directly to targeted organs such as the brain, heart, liver, pancreas, and kidneys. This method enhances therapeutic outcomes for patients with chronic diseases.

Why Arterial Stem Cell Therapy?

Traditional IV injections only deliver a small percentage of stem cells to the affected organ. In contrast, RE:YOUTH’s arterial infusion ensures maximum absorption, faster regeneration, and superior clinical results.

Proven Success in Treating Chronic Diseases

Neurodegenerative Disorders (Parkinson’s & Dementia). Improved motor skills, reduced tremors, and cognitive enhancement through neurogenesis.
Diabetes & Pancreatic Regeneration. Reduced insulin dependence and stabilized blood sugar levels by regenerating pancreatic beta-cells.
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) & Vascular Regeneration. Restores vascular function and nerve health, enabling many patients to regain natural function without medication.
Liver Cirrhosis & Liver Failure. Enhanced liver function and improved enzyme levels through stem cell-based repair and regeneration.
Kidney Disease & Renal Failure. Improved kidney function, helping many avoid dialysis and experience better filtration rates.
Cardiovascular Diseases & Post-Stroke Recovery. Restores cardiac function, promotes new blood vessel formation, and accelerates post-stroke recovery.

Amazing view!!! Not regret going to this place at all. The walk to the campus is quite a hike and about 10 minutes from the station but loving every steps that I took to the campus.

Wanted to visit the campus due to time constraints we were only able to make it late in the evening. Easily accessible with bus to find the iconic spot thats been featured in lot of kdramas we were able to find it quickly. We did ask one student if we were going in the right direction as it was getting late and dark and we didnt want to get lost in the huge grounds. The campus has a lot of greenery almost forest like. We walked past by a bunch of international buildings and some other departments. Hopefully i get to come back and visit during the day time and check out the gift shop.
