Analysis of the Principle and State-of-art Artificial Heart Valve Facilities

Abstract

In recent years, the mechanical artificial hearts are widely used in surgery ought to the medical demands. Although the use of mechanical artificial hearts is widespread worldwide and has been clinically proven for many years, current technology is still not sufficient to permanently preserve the heart. With current technology, reliable recovery after transplantation cannot be achieved and patients must continue to struggle to maintain heart function. Valves are therefore the main cause of artificial heart failure, and the choice of valve type is time-consuming. On this basis, this study will discuss the principle as well as the state-of-art facilities of heart valve. According to the analysis, valves, especially mitral and aortic valves (bioprosthetic and purely mechanical), can be further developed and their advantages and disadvantages are obvious. In addition, the limitations as well as the prospects for the devices are discussed accordingly. Overall, these results shed light on guiding further exploration of artificial heart valve development.
