This review highlights neglected and ambiguously covered areas in the in vitro evaluation and standardization of conduit-mounted prosthetic heart valves under the current ISO 5840 standard.
This review identifies gaps in the current ISO 5840 standard regarding the in vitro evaluation and quality assurance testing of conduit-mounted prosthetic heart valves.
This review concerns the issues affecting the in vitro evaluation of conduit-mounted prosthetic heart valves at the design development stage, and the question of standardisation of testing at the quality assurance stage. Particular attention is given to areas of conduit valve development and research which have been neglected, ambiguously covered or left to the discretion of the researcher in the current standard for conventional prosthetic valves, ISO 5840.
Leefe et al. (Sun,) conducted a review in Conduit-mounted prosthetic heart valves. In vitro evaluation was evaluated. This review highlights neglected and ambiguously covered areas in the in vitro evaluation and standardization of conduit-mounted prosthetic heart valves under the current ISO 5840 standard.
