Bioprosthetic aortic valve diameter and thickness are directly related to leaflet fluttering: Results from a combined experimental and computational modeling study

Jae Ho Lee, Lawrence N. Scotten, Robert Hunt et al. · 21 Sep 2020

OBJECTIVE: Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) are commonly used in surgical and percutaneous valve replacement. The durability of percutaneous valve replacement is unknown, but surgical valves have been shown to require reintervention after 10 to 15 years. Further, smaller-diameter surgical BHVs generally experience higher rates of prosthesis-patient mismatch, which leads to higher rates of failure. Bioprosthetic…
