Cardiovascular diseases are accounted the number one cause of death worldwide. Besides, this great threat will continue to arise in the future. Cardiac transplantation is an efficient option to fix this issue. However, the insufficiency of voluntary donors following circulatory death rendered this option a highly significant challenge. Recent approaches for cardiac tissue engineering (CTE) are presenting substantial promises in this track. Revitalization of the heart relied over the years on using many sorts of available conventional prosthetic materials. However, being non-biodegradable, they permanently remain inside the body as permanent foreign substances that can act as an infection nidus. To handle these problems, diverse strategies have been adopted to fabricate polymeric scaffolds for CTE. Biodegradation polymers (BPs) have been presented as successful alternatives in different forms like heart patches … |
