Stem Cells and Progenitor Cells for Tissue-Engineered Solutions to Congenital Heart Defects
Synthetic patches and fixed grafts currently used in the repair of congenital heart defects are nonliving, noncontractile, and not electrically responsive, leading to increased risk of complication, reoperation, and sudden cardiac death. Studies suggest that tissue-engineered patches made from livin...
