Angiostasis is the strict regulation by the body over creation of new blood vessels, which is the normal state (homeostasis) for adult humans. The opposite state of angiostasis is angiogenesis, or the state of generating new blood vessels, as happens after injury, and during tumor growth. Interruption of angiostasis in adults is generally an indication of disease. 血管抑制是身体对新血管生成的严格调节，这是成年人的正常状态（稳态）。 血管抑制的相反状态是血管生成，或产生新血管的状态，如损伤后和肿瘤生长期间发生的情况。 成人血管抑制的中断通常是疾病的征兆。
