Abstract
The substrate for culturing a cardiovascular tissue of the present invention is a substrate for culturing a cardiovascular tissue, which is tubular, and comprises a foam comprising a bioabsorbable material reinforced with a reinforcing material comprising a bioabsorbable material, the foam comprising lactide (D, L, DL isomer)-ε-caprolactone copolymer containing lactide (D, L, DL isomer) in a content of 50 to 54 mole % and ε-caprolactone in a content of 50 to 46 mole %, and the reinforcing material being covered with the foam.
