Evaluation of pliable bioresorbable, elastomeric aortic valve prostheses in sheep during 12 months post implantation [PDF]
Pliable microfibrous, bioresorbable elastomeric heart valve prostheses are investigated in search of sustainable heart valve replacement. These cell-free implants recruit cells and trigger tissue formation on the valves in situ. Our aim is to investigate

Hemodynamic Evaluation of Heart Valve Prostheses
The treatment of aortic valve disease is undergoing rapid changes. In addition to conventional valve replacement that has evolved as the gold standard over several decades, transcatheter techniques have been introduced into clinical practice.

Fifteen years of experience with ATS mechanical heart valve prostheses [PDF]
ATS Medical, Inc, developed a mechanical heart valve that has been in use since 1992. In this article, we present the results of 15 years of follow-up of patients who have undergone ATS heart valve replacement at our hospital.We performed ATS heart valve replacements on 231 patients between September 1993 and March 2008.

On the setting up of numerical modeling of heart valve prostheses
The aim of the study was to compare scenarios of numerical modeling of the operation of a heart valve bioprosthesis, identifying their advantages and limitations. Material and methods. Numerical modeling was conducted in the Abaqus/ CAE (Dassault Systèmes, France) engineering analysis environment, simulating two cycles of the valve apparatus’s ...

Fluid-structure interaction simulation of prosthetic aortic valves : comparison between immersed boundary and arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian techniques for the mesh representation [PDF]
In recent years the role of FSI (fluid-structure interaction) simulations in the analysis of the fluid-mechanics of heart valves is becoming more and more important, being able to capture the interaction between the blood and both the surrounding ...

Fluid dynamic characterization of a polymeric heart valve prototype (Poli-Valve) tested under continuous and pulsatile flow conditions. [PDF]
PURPOSE: Only mechanical and biological heart valve prostheses are currently commercially available. The former show longer durability but require anticoagulant therapy; the latter display better fluid dynamic behavior but do not have adequate durability.
