Platelet and endothelial adhesion on fluorosurfactant polymers designed for vascular graft modification

A prominent failure mechanism of small-diameter expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) vascular grafts is platelet-mediated thrombosis. We have designed surface modification for ePTFE consisting of a self-assembling fluorosurfactant polymer (FSP) bearing biologically active ligands, including adhe...
