Tissue-Engineered Heart Valve Prostheses: ‘State of the Heart‘
Copyright policy )Tissue-Engineered Heart Valve Prostheses: ‘State of the Heart‘
In this article, we will review the current state of the art in heart valve tissue engineering. We provide an overview of mechanical and biological replacement options, outlining advantages and limitations of each option. Tissue engineering, as a field, is introduced, and specific aspects of valve tissue engineering are discussed (e.g., biomaterials, cells and bioreactors). Technological hurdles, which need to be overcome for advancement of the field, are also discussed.
