The global in time existence of weak solutions is proved for a model of angiogenesis consisting of compressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled with a reaction-diffusion equation (see [\textit{A. Tosin} et al., Bull. Math. Biol. 68, No. 7, 1819--1836 (2006; Zbl 1334.92066)]). The proofs are based on the control of the entropy term associated with the entropy solution of the hyperbolic mass conservation equation and the adaptation of the results typical for compressible fluid dynamics. The new concept of the compactness of effective viscous pressure permits the authors to pass to the limit in the vanishing artificial viscosity method.
