Electro spun bioresorbable trileaflet heart valve prosthesis for tissue engineering: In vitro functional assessment of a pulmonary cardiac valve design

open access: yes, 2007
Currently implanted prosthetic heart valves, both mechanical or biological ones, are used to restore the proper blood hemodynamics when the native valves fail. However, these medical devices are not free from drawbacks, such as hemolysis or calcification,
