Microfluidic Emulation of Mechanical Circulatory Support Device Shear-Mediated Platelet Activation.

Thrombosis of ventricular assist devices (VADs) compromises their performance, with associated risks of systemic embolization, stroke, pump stop and possible death. Anti-thrombotic (AT) drugs, utilized to limit thrombosis, are largely dosed empirically, with limited testing of their efficacy. Furthe...
