Biofunctionalization of surfaces to minimize undesirable effects in cardiovascular assistance devices
Artif. organs; 48 (2), 2024
BACKGROUND: The reactivity of blood with non-endothelial surface is a challenge for long-term Ventricular Assist Devices development, usually made with pure titanium, which despite of being inert, low density and high mechanical resistance it does not avoid the thrombogenic responses. Here we tested a mo...
