Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Surface Engineering
  • Cardiovascular Engineering

Background:

  • Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of death globally.
  • Congestive heart failure requires advanced treatments like mechanical circulatory assistance.
  • Current ventricular assist devices use polished titanium, but surface bioactivity can be improved.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a biofunctional titanium surface for ventricular assist devices using laser processing.
  • To enhance cell adhesion and neointimal tissue formation without coatings.
  • To improve the performance of existing biomaterials.

Main Methods:

  • Femtosecond laser ablation was used to create laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS).
  • Surface topology was optimized for cell adhesion and tissue formation.
  • In vitro evaluation of fibroblast cell adhesion and proliferation was performed.

Main Results:

  • Laser processing successfully created the desired surface topology.
  • Fibroblast cells demonstrated appropriate adhesion and distribution compared to controls.
  • In vitro results indicated enhanced cell adhesion and proliferation with LIPSS.

Conclusions:

  • Laser processes can create novel interactions on known biomaterials.
  • The developed biofunctional surface improves titanium's suitability for ventricular assist devices.
  • This approach offers a promising strategy for enhancing mechanical circulatory support technologies.
