Analysis reveals that valve dynamics influence cavitation risks in prosthetic heart valves, highlighting erosion and hemolysis concerns.
The development of prosthetic heart valves, artificial hearts, and ventricular assist devices has generated interest in the possible in vivo occurrence of cavitation on prosthetic heart valves. The problems associated with cavitation, such as the erosion of valve components and hemolysis, are of particular concern.
