One of the main challenges in the formation of functional engineered tissues is the lack of an efficient and extensive network of microvessels to support cell viability. By printing vascular cells and appropriate biomaterials, the 3D printing could closely mimic <em>in vivo</em> conditions to generate blood vessels. In vascular tissue engineering, many various approaches of 3D printing have been developed, including selective laser sintering and extrusion methods, etc. The 3D printing is going to be the integral part of tissue engineering approaches; in comparison with other scaffolding techniques, 3D printing has&nbsp;two major merits: automation and high cell density. Undoubtedly, the application of 3D printing in vascular&nbsp;tissue &nbsp;engineering &nbsp;will be extended if its resolution, printing speed, and available materials can be improved.&nbsp; Neovascularization, Three-dimensional printings, Tissue engineering, Tissue scaffolds 9 20 http://ibj.pasteur.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-756&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Mahboubeh Jafarkhani 0000-0003-2189-0885 No School of Chemical Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Tehran, Iran Zeinab Salehi No School of Chemical Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Tehran, Iran Amir Aidun 0000-0002-3794-5150 No Tissues and Biomaterials Research Group (TBRG), Universal Scientific Education and Research Network (USERN), Tehran, Iran Mohammad Ali Shokrgozar 0000-0001-5123-4155 Yes National Cell Bank of Iran, Pasteur Institute of Iran, Tehran, Iran
