Fully Coupled Fluid Structure Interaction Simulation of Bioprosthetic Heart Valves: A Numerical and Experimental Analysis
… 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 fixation and anti-calcification. In Chapter 2, I measured BP density and its effect on BHV leaflet stress and strain. In …

Surgical techniques used for closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects
… sutures (n=71). Five patients in Group I had bovine pericardium used and 1 patient's VSD was closed by a direct suture technique. Group II consisted of 93 children operated on between 1995 to 1998, and had their VSDs closed with a 0.6% glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardial patch using …

Fatigue life modelling of anisotropic styrenic block copolymers for a prosthetic heart valve application
… copolymers were significantly lower than on bovine pericardium, which is one of the materials used in clinical prosthesis. Durability of the calcified valve was not affected, indicating that the selected materials have great potential for biomedical applications. Finally, the effect of …
