The Influence of Micropatterned Surfaces on Platelet Adhesion to Reduce the Risk of Thrombus Formation in Left Ventricular Assist Devices
Conical micropatterns may be most effective at limiting platelet adhesion at lower WSS, while small hemispheres may perform better at higher WSS. These trends suggest a surface-shear interaction that warrants further investigation for LVAD surface optimization.
