Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Artificial organs are engineered devices with the capacity to be implanted or integrated into a living body to replace a failing organ, or to duplicate or augment one or multiple functions of the diseased organ.

AREAS COVERED: We evaluate the present landscape and future possibilities of artificial organ engineering by exploring the spectrum of four distinguishable device features: mobility, compatibility, functionality, and material composition. These mechanical and functional differences provide the framework through which we examine the current status and future possibilities of the abdominal and thoracic artificial organs.

EXPERT OPINION: Transforming the artificial organs landscape in ways that expand the scope of existing device capabilities and improve the clinical utility of artificial organs will require making improvements upon existing technologies and multidisciplinary cooperation to create and discover new capacities.
