The key challenge in tissue engineering is the establishment of an efficient vascularization for tissue constructs guaranteeing long-term survival and function. Vascularization may be achieved by the stimulation of angiogenesis or the inosculation of preformed microvascular networks within the implants to the host microvasculature. The present review provides an overview of these two concepts applied in tissue engineering.
