Abstract:Mechanical circulatory support devices (MCSDs) are often associated with hemocompatible complications such as hemolysis and gastrointestinal bleeding when treating patients with end-stage heart failure. Shear stress and exposure time have been identified as the two most important mechanical factors causing blood damage. However, the materials of MCSDs may also induce blood damage when contacting with blood. In this study, the red blood cell and von Willebrand Factor (VWF) damage caused by four 3D printing biom… Show more
