In vitro comparison of three percutaneous atrial septal defect closure devices for endothelialisation and haemocompatibility.

CONCLUSIONS: In this in vitro study we showed that, despite the three ASD occluders having different device designs and coatings, adhesion and proliferation of human endothelial cells was similar for all devices. This should be further confirmed by similar studies including shear stress forces and anti-thrombotic treatments.
