  • Publication number: 20210154373
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for immobilizing heparin and a NO-generating catalyst and a cardiovascular device having a surface modified using the same, and more particularly, to a method of co-immobilizing a heparin-phenol derivative and copper nanoparticles as a NO-generating catalyst on the surface of a material by a polyphenol oxidase-mediated reaction, a material having a surface with heparin and a NO-generating catalyst co-immobilized thereon by using the method, and a cardiovascular device including the material. It has been confirmed that a surface having heparin and the NO-generating catalyst co-immobilized thereon by the method of the present disclosure has high in vivo stability, continuously generates NO, and also promotes the proliferation of endothelial cells while significantly inhibiting the adhesion and activation of platelets and smooth muscle cells. Thus, the method may be advantageously applied to cardiovascular devices for inhibiting thrombosis and restenosis.
