Journal ArticleDOI

Functional Living Trileaflet Heart Valves Grown In Vitro

TL;DR: In vitro generation of implantable complete living heart valves based on a biomimetic flow culture system that functioned up to 5 months and resembled normal heart valves in microstructure, mechanical properties, and extracellular matrix formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fibrin gel as a three dimensional matrix in cardiovascular tissue engineering

TL;DR: A three-dimensional fibrin gel structure can serve as a useful scaffold for tissue engineering with controlled degradation, excellent seeding effects and good tissue development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early In Vivo Experience With Tissue-Engineered Trileaflet Heart Valves

TL;DR: Tissue-engineered heart valve scaffolds fabricated from polyhydroxyalkanoates can be used for implantation in the pulmonary position with an appropriate function for 120 days in lambs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fibrin gel -- advantages of a new scaffold in cardiovascular tissue engineering.

TL;DR: Fibrin gel combines a number of important properties of an ideal scaffold and can be produced as a complete autologous scaffold that is moldable and degradation is controllable by the use of aprotinin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue engineering of small caliber vascular grafts

TL;DR: The feasibility of tissue engineering of viable, surgically implantable small caliber vascular grafts and the important effect of a 'biomimetic' in vitro environment on tissue maturation and extracellular matrix formation are demonstrated.
