In the final months of the season Vilanova made two more trips back to America for follow-up tests and to undergo further treatment.
The second of those trips was scheduled for this summer, but was brought forward to May after Barcelona clinched their fourth Primera Division title in five years with three games to go.
Barcelona announced tonight on their official Twitter feed that the training session scheduled for this evening had been cancelled.
Reports in Spain suggest Joan Francesc Ferrer, known as Rubi, could replace Vilanova in a caretaker capacity.
Rubi joined Barca's coaching staff last month as an assistant to Vilanova and Jordi Roura - who took charge of the first team when Vilanova was absent last season.
Rubi was head coach of Girona last term and led the club to the Segunda Division play-offs, where they lost to Almeria to miss out on a place in the top flight for the first time in their history.
The 43-year-old Rubi penned a one-year contract with Barca with the option for a second season and took up his post earlier this week as the first team reported back for pre-season training.
