EJCTS_ICVTS Roche et al describe current challenges in 3D myocardial engineering. Recipe: bioink with all needed celltypes (from pluripotent stem cells) + matrix, organized host-graft vasculature, electromechanical integration. Sounds simple? academic.oup.com/ejcts/article/…

Results in 47 patients, with results comparable to trans-sternal approaches reported elsewhere. You may or may not agree with the indications and approach, but this certainly is an interesting and technically impressive series. #Fallot #TOF #EJCTS bit.ly/3m8xHxR
