The present invention refers to a model for in-vitro simulation of the behaviour of dysfunctional human vessels, such as for example vessels affected by aneurysm, stenosis or sclerosis plaques, as an instrument for testing medical devices and drugs with the aim of verifying effectiveness and safety thereof prior to use thereof on humans. Specifically, the present invention refers to an in vitro model of a substantially tubular-shaped vascular structure having dysfunctional anatomical and physiological characteristics simulating the same vascular structure of a healthy subject whose vascular structure has been damaged or deformed or deteriorated due to a damage selected from among the group comprising or, alternatively, consisting of aneurysm, stenosis, sclerosis plaques, forms of tumours or cardiomyopathies having the characteristics as claimed in the attached claims. Furthermore, the present invention also refers to a reliable and reproducible industrialisation process for eliminating air bubbles for producing an engineered vascular tissue for the in vitro test of medicinal products for human use and veterinarian products for animal use.
