Mechanical blood trauma in circulatory-assist devices /
Mechanical cardiovascular assist devices must be properly designed to avoid damage to the blood they contact. The factors that affect the hemocompatibility of a cardiovascular assist device include three major non-physiological components - the material, fluid flow paths, and flow related stresses -...
