At face value this patent seems to be extremely broad. The issued claims, which have one independent claim, cover pretty much any type of vascularized bioengineered tissue. The claim is not restricted to type of tissue or method of generating the tissue. It covers the introduction of at least one blood vessel into either a tissue or a matrix which has cells in it, growing of the tissue in vitro, and then putting it into a host.
