Key result
Anti-fouling metal-phenolic valve coatings reduce thrombosis and calcification while boosting endothelialization.
Why the study?
Promoting endothelialization and ensuring good hemocompatibility are necessary to improve bioprosthetic valve performance.
Modification of biological heart valve leaflets using anti-fouling polymers and metal-phenolic networks is proposed to enhance anti-thrombosis, anti-calcification, and endothelialization.

May facilitate endothelialization on bioprosthetic valves without compromising hemocompatibility; leaves open in vivo durability and clinical translation.
Promoting the endothelialization of the bioprosthetic valve is necessary to improve the performance of the valve, and good hemocompatibility ensures an adequate time for the endothelialization process. In this work,...
