title: Preview. Mending the failing heart with a vascularized cardiac patch.
abstract: Functional, stem-cell-containing cardiac grafts will require vascularized myocardial constructs to support their survival and integration into the host vasculature. Recently in Tissue Engineering, Part A, Lesman et al. (2009) reported the successful integration of vascular cells and hESC-derived cardiomyoctyes into stable grafts in rat recipients.
