Tissue-Engineered Vascular Grafts

Abstract

A great deal of research is focusing nowadays in the development of vascular substitutes to cover the unmet clinical need of small-caliber grafts. A fundamental understanding of the design principles that dictate the functionality of the native tissue and the transfer of such principles to engineer bioinspired vascular grafts represents an appealing approach. The recognition of the native vessels as textile-reinforced entities elevates textile technologies (such as knitting, weaving, electrospinning, melt electrospinning) as an attractive platform for vascular engineering. The combination of biomimetic textiles with cell-interactive matrices constitutes the main pillar of the biohybrid concept. In this chapter, we will review the current state of the art on textile-reinforced vascular grafts in the context of tissue engineering. We will also illustrate how the progress made in biomimicry, biofabrication, and material’s science disciplines constitutes a solid scenario for the development of advanced biohybrid vascular conduits.
