Artificial blood vessels must be strong, flexible, and must not lead to blockage after implantation. It is therefore important to select an appropriate fabrication process for products to meet these requirements. This review discusses the current methods for making artificial blood vessels, focusing on fabrication principle, materials, and applications. Among these methods, 3D printing is very promising since it has the unique capability to make complicated three-dimensional structures with multiple types of materials, and can be completely digitalized. Therefore, new developments in 3D printing of artificial blood vessels are also summarized here. This review provides a reference for the fusion of multiple processes and further improvement of artificial blood vessel fabrication.
人工血管必须具有高强度、高弹性，且植入后不能导致堵塞。因此，选择合适的制造工艺对于生产符合这些要求的产品非常重要。本综述讨论了目前制造人工血管的方法，重点介绍了制造原理、材料和应用。在这些方法中，3D 打印技术很有前途，因为它具有用多种材料制造复杂三维结构的独特能力，并且可以完全数字化。因此，本文还总结了人工血管 3D 打印技术的新进展。本文为多种工艺的融合以及人工血管制造的进一步改进提供了参考。
