Journal of Investigative Medicine High Impact Case Reports, 2020 The incidence of mechanical valve thrombosis (MVT) is around 0.4 per 100 patient-years. Mitral valve thrombosis has a higher incidence than aortic valve thrombosis with a nearly 5-fold increase. Various factors contribute to MVT. The most common cause of

The Influence of the Aortic Root Geometry on Flow Characteristics of a Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valve [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Bileaflet mechanical heart valves have one of the most successful valve designs for more than 30 years. These valves are often used for aortic valve replacement, where the geometry of the aortic root sinuses may vary due to valvular disease and affect valve performance. Common geometrical sinus changes may be due to valve stenosis and insufficiency. In

4D Bioprinting: Keeping the Technology Alive
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.4D bioprinting is an area of research with an ambitious yet clear goal in mind: the creation of an artificial organ that perfectly mimics the functional movements of a native organ and is fully integrated within the human body. This perspective outlines the roadmap toward achieving this objective, beginning with MIS and transitioning into DTE ...

Successful Fibrinolytic Therapy in a Challenging Obstructive Prosthetic Mitral Valve Thrombosis
Journal of Investigative Medicine High Impact Case Reports, 2020 Prosthetic valve thrombosis is a rare and severe complication of the mechanical prosthetic valve. Management can be challenging due to varying clinical presentation, overlapping features of differential diagnosis, and lack of randomized controlled trials

A novel mathematical technique to assess of the mitral valve dynamics based on echocardiography [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Purpose: The mechanics of the mitral valve leaflet as a nonlinear, inelastic and anisotropic soft tissue results from an integrated response of many mathematical/physical indexes' that illustrate the tissue. In the past decade, finite element modeling of complete heart valves has greatly aided evaluation of heart valve surgery, design of bioprosthetic ...
