A porous material with an appropriate surface chemistry that promotes capillary endothelialization is disclosed. The material has a porosity that is sufficient to allow capillary endothelialization and a tenaciously bound adhesion molecule that promotes the ingrowth of endothelial cells into the porosity of the material.
