Influence of red blood cell aggregation on perfusion of an artificial microvascular network

Red blood cells (RBCs) suspended in plasma form multicellular aggregates under low flow conditions, increasing apparent blood viscosity at low shear rates. It has previously been unclear, however, if RBC aggregation affects microvascular perfusion. Here we analyzed the impact of RBC aggregation on p...
