Abstract

One of the most important prerequisites in developing a clinically applicable cardiac prosthesis is making it blood compatible. Two factors must be considered to prevent blood clotting inside a device: design to eliminate blood-stagnant areas within the device, and use of blood-compatible materials for the device’s blood-contacting surfaces.
