Tissue engineering may soon give babies with congenital heart disease new blood vessels capable of native function and growth. Major cardiovascular reconstructive operations in babies with congenital heart defects require the use of artificial blood vessels called vascular grafts. Because these grafts are made of man-made materials, the recipients’ tissues eventually begin to outgrow…
