This review aims to review the biomedical applications of nanocarbons to various cardiovascular devices including implantable scaffolds, patches, and stents against coronary artery diseases (CAD). The clinical applications of nanocarbons in cardiac tissue engineering, cardiomyocyte supporting implants, biosensors for cardiovascular biomarkers, bioimaging and monitoring of pathological conditions of CAD are addressed. In addition, the current challenges in minimizing the toxicity of nanocarbon materials and alleviating techniques are discussed from a clinical perspective. A novel fabrication approach for nanocarbons in cell‐laden cardiovascular stents is a promising regenerative means for the treatment of damaged infarction in CAD.
