  1. Bioprosthetic heart valves : ultrastructure and calcification

    Zhang, YinxingDivision of Cardiology1998

    … most widely used commercially produced tissue heart valves. Since stentless bioprostheses represent the latest promising trend in the development of biological heart valves, stentless models of the following makes were compared: Baxter, Medtronic, St. Jude and Biocor. Due to the fact that the …

  3. A Computational Model for Design Optimization of Bioprosthetic Heart Valves

    Falahatpisheh, Ahmad

    <p>Heart valves play an important role in directing blood flow and preventing back flow in the heart. Design and development of bioprosthetic heart valves has been a major focus of research in the field of cardiovascular engineering as they are a better replacement for natural diseased valves than …

  6. Fully Coupled Fluid Structure Interaction Simulation of Bioprosthetic Heart Valves: A Numerical and Experimental Analysis

    Sadipour, Masod

    … is essential to consider accurate properties of bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs), such as density and mechanical properties. Previous computational studies assumed (bovine pericardium) BP used in BHVs density was comparable to water or blood. Yet, BP is subjected to multiple treatments like …

  9. Mitigation of the inflammatory response to bioprosthetic heart valve tissue through antigen-directed masking

    Du Plessis, Engela HelenaDivision of Cardiology2009

    … directed to characterise the immune response to bioprosthetic heart valves in patients as well as in animal models. The study further demonstrated that the glutaraldehyde concentration applied to commercial heart valves is insufficient to mask the antigenicity of the tissue, therefore an method …

  10. A novel polymeric prosthetic heart valve: design, manufacture, and testing

    Brubert, JacobUniversity of Cambridge2016

    … a flexible leaflet polymeric prosthetic aortic heart valve was designed, manufactured, and tested. The prosthesis was designed with the aim of overcoming the need for anticoagulant therapy, which is required for current mechanical prostheses; while also having lifelong durability, which current …
