merging advanced technologies such as nanotechnology offers great potential to overcome current issue in different
felds including biomedical feld. Development of novel diagnostics and nanobiosensors, new therapeutics based on smart
delivery systems and nanocarriers as well as multifunctional theranostics has opened new horizons to current medical practice.
Application of nanotechnology in the feld of biomedical and cardiovascular devices has attracted research attention in recent
years. Development of new nanomaterials and nanocomposite hybrids with enhanced bio and hemocompatibility and improved
mechanical and physicochemical properties offers great advantages over conventional materials. Based on these advanced
materials, development of next generation biomedical devices has become achievable. Merging nanotechnology with other
advanced technologies such as stem cell technology and regenerative medicine principals in development of next generation
viable or semi-viable devices is a new paradigm in biomedical research. In this paper we will report our fndings of development
of next generation cardiovascular devices such as heart valve, coronary stents and bypass grafts based on nanotechnology and
regenerative medicine principles. The results of multiple tests to investigate bio and hemocompatibility, mechanical and surface
properties and self-endothelialisation potential were very promising. This indicates that future prospect of the application of
nanotechnology and stem cell technology in development of next generation cardiovascular devices is bright.
