During the last years, considerable progress has been made in the development of promising vascularization strategies in tissue engineering. Particularly the inosculation of preformed microvascular networks has the great potential to markedly improve the survival of tissue constructs after implantation. The optimization of this vascularization strategy may pave the way for a broad clinical use of tissue engineering applications in the future.
