Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Cardiovascular Research

Background:

  • Cardiovascular disease is the leading global cause of mortality.
  • Narrowing of blood vessels necessitates artificial conduits for restoring blood flow.
  • Small-diameter blood vessels (SDBVs) require advanced engineering for effective function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the requirements for constructing ideal vascular grafts.
  • To describe the current use of stem cells as a cell source for SDBVs.
  • To outline the application of 3D printing as an engineering strategy for SDBVs.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on vascular graft construction.
  • Analysis of stem cell properties for vascular tissue engineering.
  • Evaluation of 3D printing techniques for fabricating vascular structures.

Main Results:

  • Stem cells offer advantages like differentiation, self-renewal, and low immunogenicity for SDBVs.
  • 3D printing provides precision and control in fabricating vascular grafts with bioinks.
  • Integration of stem cells and 3D printing presents a promising approach for SDBV development.

Conclusions:

  • Developing functional SDBVs requires optimized cell sources and engineering methods.
  • Stem cell-based strategies combined with 3D printing hold significant potential for treating cardiovascular diseases.
  • Further research is needed to address challenges and advance the clinical application of engineered SDBVs.
