“…However, common PUs easily trigger material-induced thrombosis. To enhance their nonthrombogenicity for blood contact implant use, nonthrombogenic moieties were physically or chemically combined with biodegradable PUs, such as phosphorylcholine (PC) [ [173] , [174] , [175] ], sulfobetaine [ 176 , 177 ], sulfate [ [178] , [179] , [180] ], PEG [ 181 ], and antithrombogenic drugs (e.g., clopidogrel, aspirin, and dipyridamole) [ 182 ]. In addition to physical blending and surface modification by nonthrombogenic moieties [ 175 , 177 ], these nonthrombogenic moieties can be covalently incorporated into the PU backbone or grafted onto the polymer chain as pendants.…”
