Abstract
This tissue-engineered approach is feasible and safe and appears to improve the efficiency of cellular cardiomyoplasty. The cell-seeded collagen matrix increases the thickness of the infarct scar with viable tissue and helps to normalize cardiac wall stress in injured regions, thus limiting ventricular remodeling and improving diastolic function.
