Polyester biomaterials play a crucial in vascular surgery, but suffer from unspecific protein adsorption, thrombogenicity, and inadequate endothelial cell response, which limit their success. To address these issues, we investigated the functionalization of polyester biomaterials with antithrombogenic polysaccharide coatings. A two-step and water-based method was used to coat cationized polycaprolactone with different sulfated polysaccharides (SPS), which resulted in long-term stability, tunable morphology, roughness, film thickness, chemical compositions, zeta potential, and water content. The coatings significantly increased the anticoagulant activity and reduced the thrombogenicity of polycaprolactone, particularly with highly sulfated heparin and cellulose sulfate. Less SPS, such as chondroitin sulfate, fucoidan, and carrageenan, despite showing reduced anticoagulant activity, also exhibited lower fibrinogen adsorption. The adhesion and viability of human primary endothelial cells cultured on modified polycaprolactone correlated with the type and sulfate content of the coatings.

Article Synopsis
- * A new microfiber scaffold is designed to address these issues using various biocompatible materials, including PCL and heparin, which help prevent protein adsorption and blood cell adhesion, reducing the risk of thrombosis.
- * The scaffold also employs an inflammation-responsive compound to detoxify harmful reactive oxygen species and control inflammation, demonstrating improved blood compatibility and potential for successful use in blood-contacting implants.

Background: We investigated whether the condition of the inner surface of hollow fibers affects the blood compatibility of hemodialyzers.
Methods: We used scanning probe microscope/atomic force microscopy (SPM/AFM) to investigate the height of the swelling and flexible layers (thickness and softness) on the inner surfaces of the hollow fibers. Next, we tested the blood compatibility between dialyzers comprising a hollow fiber membrane, in which the other dialyzers, except for PVP, were additionally coated using PS membranes coated with other materials.
Double crosslinking decellularized bovine pericardium of dialdehyde chondroitin sulfate and zwitterionic copolymer for bioprosthetic heart valves with enhanced antithrombogenic, anti-inflammatory and anti-calcification properties.

Due to the increasing aging population and the advancements in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), the use of bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) in patients diagnosed with valvular disease has increased substantially. Commercially available glutaraldehyde (GA) cross-linked biological valves suffer from reduced durability due to a combination of factors, including the high cell toxicity of GA, subacute thrombus, inflammation and calcification. In this study, oxidized chondroitin sulfate (OCS), a natural polysaccharide derivative, was used to replace GA to cross-link decellularized bovine pericardium (DBP), carrying out the first crosslinking of DBP to obtain OCS-BP.

Fabricating a biocompatible small-diameter vascular graft (< 6 mm) with mechanical properties similar to the natural vein and adding good anti-thrombogenic, endothelialization, and hyperplasia properties remains a challenge. To this end, we fabricated a heparinized bilayer graft to address this problem. The proposed bilayer sample consisted of a heparinized polycaprolactone (PCL), polyurethane (PU), and gelatin (G) co-electrospun inner layer and chitosan, gelatin, and silk fibroin freeze-dried hydrogel crosslinked with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) outer layer.
