Abstract: The early angiopathy of systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a key hub connecting inflammation and fibrosis. The animal models that simulate the pathological characteristics of SSc are of great significance to study the etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of SSc with vascular involvement. This review of the characteristics of different animal models of SSc with vascular involvement provides a reference for relevant researchers to select appropriate models in the process of exploring the pathogenesis of SSc with vascular involvement.
