Development of artificial blood vessels through tissue engineering
Background Cardiovascular diseases are one of the main causes of mortality in many parts of the world, with atherosclerosis figuring as the principal cause of coronary occlusion, stroke and aortic aneurysm [1]. Saphenous vein is the most commonly used vascular prosthesis for small-caliber (< 6 mm) vascular grafts, however, 10%-40% of patients do not have a saphenous vein suitable for prosthetic...
متن کاملTissue Engineering for Blood Vessels
The artificial vascular grafts currently in clinical use still have problems with respect to late calcification, restenosis, antithrombotic property, durability, biocompatibility, and safety, and no ideal artificial vascular graft has been developed to date. In view of this, we have been continuing basic experimental studies and their clinical applications in an attempt to develop tissue-engine...
متن کاملTrends in Tissue Engineering for Blood Vessels
Over the years, cardiovascular diseases continue to increase and affect not only human health but also the economic stability worldwide. The advancement in tissue engineering is contributing a lot in dealing with this immediate need of alleviating human health. Blood vessel diseases are considered as major cardiovascular health problems. Although blood vessel transplantation is the most conveni...
متن کاملDesign of bifurcation junctions in artificial vascular vessels additively manufactured for skin tissue engineering
Construction of an artificial vascular network ready for its additive manufacturing is an important task in tissue engineering. This paper presents a set of simple mathematical algorithms for computer-aided design of complex three dimensional vascular networks. Firstly various existing mathematical methods from the literature are reviewed and simplified for the convenience of applications in ti...
متن کاملMechanisms for Complex Systems Engineering Through Artificial Development
We argue that artificial development is an appropriate means of approaching complex systems engineering. Artificial development works via the inclusion of mechanisms that enhance the evolvability of a design space. Two of these mechanisms, regularities and adaptive feedback with the environment, are discussed. We concentrate on the less explored of the two: adaptive feedback. A concrete example...
