The shortage of donors for heart transplantation has become a critical issue to treat the patients with end-stage of cardiac failure. We have decellularized the rat whole heart by using pulsatile perfusion apparatus. Reprogrammed human cardiomyocytes were mixed with endothelial progenitor cells in culture and those were perfused to recellularize the acellular construct. Following 8 to 10 days in continuous perfusion, reseeded cells were engrafted onto the matrix to reconstruct the entire vascular beds and myocardium ex vivo.
