Hybrid membranes for the production of blood contacting surfaces: physicochemical, structural and biomechanical characterization

Abstract Background Due to the shortage of organs’ donors that limits biological heart transplantations, mechanical circulatory supports can be implanted in case of refractory end-stage heart failure to replace partially (Ventricular Assist Device, VAD) or completely (Total Artificial Heart, TAH) th...
