Popis: Abstract Formation of functional and perfusable vascular network is critical to ensure the long‐term survival and functionality of the engineered tissue tracheae after transplantation. However, the greatest challenge in tracheal‐replacement therapy is the promotion of tissue regeneration by rapid graft vascularization. Traditional prevascularization methods for tracheal grafts typically utilize omentum or muscle flap wrapping, which requires a second operation; vascularized segment tracheal orthotopic transplantation in one step remains difficult. This study proposes a method to construct a tissue‐engineered tracheal graft, which directly forms the microvascular network after orthotopic transplantation in vivo. The focus of this study was the preparation of a hybrid tracheal graft that is non‐immunogenic, has good biomechanical properties, supports cell proliferation, and quickly vascularizes. The results showed that vacuum‐assisted decellularized trachea‐polycaprolactone hybrid scaffold could match most of the above requirements as closely as possible. Furthermore, endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were extracted and used as vascularized seed cells and seeded on the surfaces of hybrid grafts before and during the tracheal orthotopic transplantation. The results showed that the microvascularized tracheal grafts formed maintained the survival of the recipient, showing a satisfactory therapeutic outcome. This is the first study to utilize EPCs for microvascular construction of long‐segment trachea in one‐step; the approach represents a promising method for microvascular tracheal reconstruction.
