      abstract = {The clinical standard for small diameter vessel treatment,  currently, is the use of autologous vessels. However, due  to limited availability and pre-surgical complications,  many patients are ineligible for this treatment. In  addition, synthetic vascular grafts have been shown to  exhibit limited long-term patency at diameters less than 6  mm, creating a large unmet clinical need. By biochemically  modifying the surface of small diameter poly(vinyl alcohol)  (PVA) grafts, anti-thrombotic properties can be achieved.  Previously, thrombogenicity has been investigated through  an ex vivo, non-human primate, shunt model. However, this  model only characterizes platelet attachment over the  length of the entire graft, losing the ability for dynamic  physical properties of the thrombus along the graft to be  understood. This work introduces a novel method to quantify  thrombus formation along the cross-sectional area of  biochemically-modified PVA grafts.},
