内容摘要：

The perfect blood supply throughout the body guaranteethe support of normal functions to tissue and organs. As the future has notarrived yet with regenerative medicine, the search for prothetic alternativesproves to be essential and can be highly rewarding. The surgery is moving fromopen surgery to key-hole surgery. Bridge devices are now used for destinationtherapy. The biomaterials are essential in the development of innovativecardiovascular devices. The emergent technologies are currently at variousstages of development and acceptability: stents and stent graphs have almostreached maturity percutaneous valves still deserve validation whereas leadlesspacing represents a disruptive technology. The future of implantology willcertainly more patients to be well treated based upon the successfuldevelopment of specific prosthesis.
