Abstract

Thrombosis is a common pathological symptom that endangers cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health, and its essence is that blood clots in the vascular wall cause serious problems in the body. In vitro simulation of thrombosis can help us understand the composition and nature of thrombosis, and provide basis and convenience for better thrombus removal technology. This paper will discuss the existing thrombosis simulation methods and their development, and propose a new in vitro simulation of thrombosis preparation.

Keywords

thrombus, thrombus properties, simulated thrombus
