心血管疾病仍然是世界范围内的主要死亡原因，心血管疾病的患病率在世界范围内已达到流行病的程度。毫不奇怪，这导致了每年血管手术数量的增加。不幸的是，随着时间的推移，这些程序的成功继续限制其长期效果。生物医学工程方法，以改善目前的假体移植，开发新的假体移植，并创造组织工程血管的临床应用提供了希望，提高血管干预的耐久性和改善患者的治疗心血管疾病。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Cardiovascular disease continues to be the leading cause of death worldwide, and the prevalence of cardiovascular disease has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. Not surprisingly this has led to an increasing number of vascular procedures annually. Unfortunately, the success of these procedures over time continues to limit their long-term effects. Biomedical engineering approaches to improve upon current prosthetic grafts, developing new prosthetic grafts, and creating tissue engineered blood vessels for clinical application offer hope of improving the durability of vascular interventions and improving patients' treatment for cardiovascular disease.
