Background: "In body tissue architecture" technology is a practical concept of regenerative medicine that uses the living recipient body's reaction to a foreign object as a reactor for autologous tissue organization. A novel autologous valved conduit was produced by creating a specially designed conduit-mold composite and elastomeric scaffold for this unique in vivo tissue engineering.

Methods: Convex and concave plastic molds assembled with a small aperture of 500-800 microm were inserted into a microporous elastomeric conduit scaffold.
