A totally implantable artificial heart: Selecting an impermeable polycarbonate urethane to manufacture the ventricles
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research. Part B, Applied Biomaterials, 48, 13–23.
TL;DR:
The results of the study demonstrated that the rate of water transmission through the four polycarbonate urethane membranes was significantly lower than through the two polyether urethanes, and showed that additional impermeability to water vapor can be achieved by selecting a polyurethane polymer with a high hard segment content, an aromatic rather than aliphatic diisocyanate comonomer, and a more hydrophobic surface.

MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Transport; Blood Flow Velocity; Carotid Artery, Common / metabolism; Carotid Artery, Common / physiology; Cholesterol / metabolism; Dogs; Lipoproteins, LDL / metabolism; Lipoproteins, LDL / physiology; Models, Biological; Models, Structural
TL;DR:
Results indicate that lipids accumulate at the luminal surface in areas where blood flow velocity and wall shear stress are low and where the permeability of the endothelial layer is enhanced, consistent with chronic hypertension and elevated blood cholesterol concentrations being major risk factors for atherosclerosis.

Localization of atherosclerosis in arterial junctions: Concentration distribution of low density lipoproteins at the luminal surface in regions of disturbed flow

TL;DR:
The authors' mathematical model predicts that locally disturbed blood flows at arterial bifurcations and surgically created junctions provide favorable conditions for the accumulation of atherogenic substances at the luminal surface, thus increasing the potential for lipid infiltration into the vessel wall.

REMOVING FRESH TISSUE FROM EXPLANTED POLYURETHANE PROSTHESES - WHICH APPROACH FACILITATES PHYSICOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS
BIOMATERIALS, 16(5), 369–380.

TL;DR:
It was found that the most successful approach for removing fresh tissue and exposing a clean and uncontaminated polyurethane surface was to incubate the explanted samples first in collagenase followed by digestion in pancreatin, which has proved valuable in enabling us to monitor small in vivo changes in the surface chemistry and in the bulk microphase segmented structure of polyurehane biomaterials.

TL;DR:
This study evaluated the biocompatibility of xenogenic material by implanting in dogs prostheses coated with bovine albumin and cross-linked with glutaraldehyde and found a slower rate of healing with the coated grafts compared to the preclotted controls did appear to be related to the slow rate of albumin erosion and the potentially cytotoxic effect of the glutarhyde cross-linking agent.
