N2 - Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that involves engineering, chemistry, biology and medicine and is emerging in the last decade as a possible approach to regenerate an injured organ by using cells, matrix, biological active molecules and physiologic stimuli. In the cardiovascular field, cardiac tissue engineering (CTE) is suggested as an alternative approach for direct cell transplantation and aims to regenerate an injured myocardial ventricular wall or to repair congenital defects. This chapter will focus on the strategies developed for CTE and in particular on materials and cells used and the advantages that CTE could offers compared to conventional cell therapy.
