Abstract

AbstractAbrasion and performance of artificial heart valves are related to geometrical configuration, blood flow dynamics, manufacturing techniques, and interaction of materials. Incidence of thromboembolism, valve insufficiency, and shortened longevity are critically dependent upon these factors. The effect of construction parameters on valve performance is discussed in general terms and illustrated from in vivo experience with a specific low‐profile design.
