Fatigue-induced changes in bioprosthetic heart valve three-dimensional geometry and the relation to tissue damage

, 1999
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDYIn a previous study, we used magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to reconstruct, three-dimensionally, porcine bioprosthetic heart valve (PBHV) cusp geometry. Initial results using three valves indicated that accelerated testing

Relationship between fibre orientation and tensile strength of natural collagen membranes for heart valve leaflets [PDF]

, 2011
Heart valve prostheses are used to replace native heart valves which that are damaged because of congenital diseases or due to ageing. Biological prostheses made of bovine pericardium are similar to native valves and do not require any anticoagulation ...
