Development of a Method for Visualizing and Quantifying Thrombus Formation in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenators.
Purpose: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving critical care technology that presents significant risks of medical device-associated thrombosis. We developed a complete method for collecting membrane oxygenators (membrane lung) from patients receiving ECMO treatment and quantitatively analyzing the distribution of thrombus formation within the membrane.
Methods: We collected used membrane oxygenators from patients for processing and imaging with microcomputed tomography (microCT). We reconstructed the microCT data and performed image segmentation to identify regions of thrombus formation within these oxygenators. We performed density mapping to quantify thrombus volume across different regions of each oxygenator and within multiple oxygenator models.
Results: Our method yields two-dimensional and three-dimensional visualization and quantification of thrombus deposition in ECMO. Analysis of the spatial distribution of platelet deposition, red blood cell entrapment, and fibrin formation within the fouled device provides insights into the structural patterns of oxygenator thrombosis.
Conclusions: This method can enable quantification of oxygenator thrombosis which can be used for evaluating the effect of new biomaterial or pharmacological approaches for mitigating vascular device-associated thrombosis during ECMO.

期刊介绍:
The field of cellular and molecular bioengineering seeks to understand, so that we may ultimately control, the mechanical, chemical, and electrical processes of the cell. A key challenge in improving human health is to understand how cellular behavior arises from molecular-level interactions. CMBE, an official journal of the Biomedical Engineering Society, publishes original research and review papers in the following seven general areas:
Molecular: DNA-protein/RNA-protein interactions, protein folding and function, protein-protein and receptor-ligand interactions, lipids, polysaccharides, molecular motors, and the biophysics of macromolecules that function as therapeutics or engineered matrices, for example.
Cellular: Studies of how cells sense physicochemical events surrounding and within cells, and how cells transduce these events into biological responses. Specific cell processes of interest include cell growth, differentiation, migration, signal transduction, protein secretion and transport, gene expression and regulation, and cell-matrix interactions.
Mechanobiology: The mechanical properties of cells and biomolecules, cellular/molecular force generation and adhesion, the response of cells to their mechanical microenvironment, and mechanotransduction in response to various physical forces such as fluid shear stress.
Nanomedicine: The engineering of nanoparticles for advanced drug delivery and molecular imaging applications, with particular focus on the interaction of such particles with living cells. Also, the application of nanostructured materials to control the behavior of cells and biomolecules.
