Objective To introduce the materials, preparative technique and endothel ial ization modification of scaffold. Methods The recent original articles about vascular tissue engineering were extensively reviewed and analyzed. Results The materials including natural materials, biodegradable polymers and composite materials were studied in the field of scaffold. The ways of casting, cell self-assembly, gel spinning and electrospinning were appl ied to prepare the scaffold of vascular tissue engineering. The modification of scaffold was one of the most important elements for vascular tissue engineering. Conclusion The recent researchs about scaffold of vascular tissue engineering focus on composite material and electrospinning, the modification of scaffold can improve the abil ity of adhesion to endothel ial cells.
