Tissue engineering of cardiovascular structures

Current Opinion in Cardiology

Abstract

Congenital and acquired diseases of the heart valves and great arteries are leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Current prosthetic or bioprosthetic replacement devices are imperfect and subject patients to one or more ongoing risks including thrombosis, limited durability, increased susceptibility to infection, and need for reoperations due to lack of growth. Tissue engineering (TE) is a new discipline that offers the potential to create replacement structures from autologous cells and biodegradable polymers. Because TE constructs contain living cells, they may have the potential for growth and self-repair and remodeling. Cardiac valve leaflets and large conduit arteries have been made with the TE approach. These TE structures have functioned in the pulmonary circulation of growing lambs for up to 4 months and have demonstrated 1) structural organization to resemble normal valve and artery, 2) satisfactory physiologic function, 3) lack of thrombus formation, and 4) growth.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
