A commonly employed approach in the field of vascular tissue regeneration involves the utilization of artificial vascular tissue implants. These implants are designed to replicate the natural architecture of blood vessels through the use of artificial scaffolds, followed by cell growth induced onto these scaffolds, which are subsequently introduced into the body to replace damaged blood tissue. One of the primary obstacles encountered in implementing this technique pertains to the selection of materials that most nearly mimic the characteristics of naturally occurring tissue. Specifically, the aim is to develop an artificial device that closely emulates the biological functionality while eliciting minimal immunological reaction. A wide range of materials for constructing scaffolds has been extensively documented, encompassing natural, synthetic, and composite materials, as well as decellularized extracellular matrix. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the existing literature in the field of vascular tissue engineering, utilizing methods of literature review and analysis. The examination will focus on evaluating the strengths, flaws, and availability of the available resources in this area of research.
