Tissue Engineering for Neonatal Congenital Heart Disease: A New Frontier in Pediatric Cardiac Care - Paperback

by Ambrose (Author)

"Tissue Engineering for Neonatal Congenital Heart Disease: A New Frontier in Pediatric Cardiac Care" explores a revolutionary approach to treating heart defects in newborns. The book delves into the field of tissue engineering, where scientists aim to create functional heart tissues to repair or replace malformed structures. This technique offers a promising alternative to traditional surgeries using synthetic materials, which have limitations for growing babies. The book explores the current state of research, discussing the development of engineered heart valves, patches, and even entire vascular grafts. It highlights the potential benefits of tissue engineering, such as improved long-term outcomes and reduced need for repeat surgeries.
