1. A tissue engineered vascular construct, comprising:

  • an electrospun biocompatible matrix in a tubular configuration; and

    a population of smooth muscle cells pre-fabricated as at least one smooth muscle cell sheet, the sheet comprised of smooth muscle cells grown to confluence on a substrate and then detached from said substrate as an intact sheet,wherein the intact sheet is wrapped around the outside of the matrix to form a vascular construct.
