Tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting offer new solutions for vascular grafts when autologous options are unavailable. Novel 3D bioprinting techniques create functional, scaffold-free vascular conduits with native vessel properties.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Cardiovascular Science

Background:

  • Vascular diseases are a major global health burden, necessitating effective treatments.
  • Current treatments rely on autologous grafts, but donor site limitations and patient factors restrict their use.
  • A significant need exists for engineered vascular conduits that mimic native vessel properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review advancements in tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting for vascular graft development.
  • To highlight the potential of 3D bioprinting for creating de novo vascular conduits.
  • To present novel scaffold-free, bioreactor-free 3D bioprinted vascular grafts.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on tissue-engineered vascular grafts.
Keywords:
