Scalable units for building cardiac tissue are fabricated from biodegradable elastomeric polymers by pairwise stacking of heart‐cell scaffolds with sinusoidal internal pore architectures and dedicated perfusable microvessels with rapidly degrading porous interfaces in a parallel flow configuration. This platform supports viable heart cells in vitro and, if validated in vivo, may aid in the regenerative repair of vascularized tissues.
