Abstract
The demanding project of creating a blood vessels by tissue engineering is one of the most difficult goals in this field of biotechnology. It holds great promises but has also some daunting hurdles before true clinical success can be achieved. The replacement of small-diameter blood vessels (≤6 mm) is a clinical situation frequently encountered by vascular and cardiothoracic surgeons.
