Abstract
End stage organ diseases of the cardiovascular system are associated with intense individual harm, tremendous problems in medical therapy, and last but not least high socio-economic debits. The concept of Tissue engineering as a newly emerging interdisciplinary strategy to generate bioartificial implants thus can be taken as scientific reaction to face this serious and incriminating situation. Here, we present selected examples and concepts of the historic development, associated limitations, and prospective key activities in cardiovascular tissue engineering.
