Patients with continuous flow ventricular assist devices (CF-VADs) are at high risk for non-surgical bleeding, speculated to associate with the loss of pulsatility following CF-VAD placement. It has been hypothesized that continuous shear stress causes elongation and increased enzymatic degradation of von Willebrand Factor (vWF), a key player in thrombus formation at sites of vascular damage. However, the role of loss of pulsatility on the unravelling behavior of vWF has not been widely explored. vWF molecules were immobilized on the surface of microfluidic devices and subjected to various pulsatile flow profiles, including continuous flow and pulsatile flow of different magnitudes, dQ/dt (i.e. first derivative of flow rate) of pulsatility and pulse frequencies to mimic in vivo shear flow environments with and without CF-VAD support. VWF elongation was observed using total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy. Besides, vWF level is measured from patients’ blood sample before and after CF-VAD implantation from a clinical perspective. To our knowledge, this work is the first in providing direct, visual observation of single vWF molecule extension under controlled -pulsatile shear flow. Unravelling of vWF (total sample size n ~ 200 molecules) is significantly reduced under pulsatile flow (P < 0.01) compared to continuous flow. An increase in magnitude of pulsatility further reduces unravelling lengths, while lower frequency of pulsatility (20 vs. 60 pulses per min) does not have a major effect on the maximum or minimum unravelling lengths. Evaluation of CF-VAD patient blood samples (n = 13) demonstrates that vWF levels decreased by ~40% following CF-VAD placement (p < 0.01), which correlates to single-molecule observations from a clinical point of view. Pulsatile flow reduces unfolding of vWF compared to continuous flow and a lower pulse frequency of 20 pulses/minute yielded comparable vWF unfolding to 60 pulses/minute. These findings could shed light on non-surgical bleeding associated with the loss of pulsatility following CF-VAD placement,
