Intelligent materials for in-situ heart Valve tissue engineering (IMAVALVE)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,
In situ tissue engineering using a biodegradable synthetic scaffold that recruits endogenous cells from the bloodstream is emerging as a promising technology to create living heart valves inside the human body having the potential to last a life-time: one valve for life. Compared to classical tissue engineered heart valves this new technology demonstrates off-the-shelf availability at substantiall ...

Improvement of the clinical applicability of tissue-engineered vascular grafts, as new regenerative therapy for children with congenital cardiovascular malformations (LIVAGRAFT)
Date du début: 1 mars 2014, Date de fin: 29 févr. 2016,
Currently available artificial graft prostheses for congenital disorders lack the capacity of growth and often require complex and reconstructive surgical interventions. As a consequence, repetitive and high-risk surgical interventions during childhood are inescapable, associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This not only raises enormous costs for the society, but compromises the qualit ...

Living autologous heart valves for minimally invasive implantable procedures (LIFEVALVE)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2009, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2015,
Cardiovascular disease still represents the Killer No.1 in the EU accounting for substantial morbidity/mortality and health care cost. Heart valve replacement represents the most common surgical therapy for valvular heart disease with almost 200.000 annual implantations worldwide. Currently, heart valve prosthesis-associated problems occur in 30-35% of patients within 10 years, frequently necessit ...
