  • an expandable scaffold supported by stent technology, wherein the scaffold is comprised of nonwoven fibers electrospun from a biomaterial compound, and wherein the scaffold is substantially tubular and comprises a concave surface having an higher concentration of fibers than the convex surface,wherein, when the scaffold is positioned in the vasculature of a mammal to direct tissue development and control blood flow into the undesirable cardiovascular condition, the concave surface of the scaffold inhibits blood flow while providing an appropriate surface for cell attachment while the less concentrated convex surface facilitates the ingress and organization of cells.
