ABSTRACT
It has been long and widely known that cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are among the leading causes of the death worldwide. Thecurrent treatments have come a long way to reduce mortality and improve life quality of those affected, but they still presentdrawbacks and limitations, and that is why cardiovascular tissue engineering is thought to be the great promise for the future.Fibrous scaffolds have been a trendy topic in tissue engineering (TE) for years now, and several techniques have been developed andoptimized to produce fibers of various biomaterials a microstructure that is particularly important for valvular and vascular tissuesdue to their unique composition and organization. This review aims to explain the rationale behind the use of fibrous scaffolds incardiovascular TE, the main biomaterials and techniques that have been employed to produce such scaffolds and how close they areto clinical applications...
