About This Special Issue
Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of global mortality. Tissue engineering of bioactive vascular grafts has emerged as a promising approach for restoring the functionality of diseased vascular tissues. These tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) incorporate native-like topographical, biochemical, and mechanical cues to promote vascular remodeling and regeneration. Despite significant progress in this field, complications such as pathological clots and occlusions still occur, particularly in small-caliber TEVGs with an inner diameter of less than 4 mm.
These challenges can be attributed to two factors: the lack of sufficient and suitable TEVGs to expedite vascular healing and the absence of efficient real-time monitoring for early diagnosis and timely treatment. Consequently, there is a clinical need to develop vascular sensor patches capable of accelerating vascular healing while providing real-time monitoring of the dynamic remodeling process. Particularly, sensors that operate wirelessly through inductive coupling hold significant potential. Such advancements would contribute to the progress of cardiovascular treatment by facilitating improved assessment and management of healing progress.
This special issue aims to present the latest advancements in vascular sensor technologies, promote interdisciplinary collaborations, and foster the translation of research findings into clinical practice. By addressing the current challenges in vascular healing monitoring and offering novel solutions, this special issue will contribute to improving patient outcomes in the field of cardiovascular treatment. The special issue welcomes original research articles, reviews, and innovative approaches that explore the development and application of vascular sensors, wireless operation, monitoring sensitivity, and their role in promoting vascular healing.
