This paper presents the design, fabrication, and in-vitro evaluation techniques for a trileaflet prosthetic heart valve, highlighting the need for standardized evaluation methods.
Requires standardized in-vitro protocols for prosthetic valves; leaves open clinical translation pending further validation.
Although prosthetic heart valves have been in existence for many years, the need for new improved designs and in-vitro evaluation techniques are apparent. This paper presents details on the design considerations, fabrication techniques and heart valve evaluation equipment. A valve performance index is discussed in light of various valve and mock circulatory test section designs. The need for national and indeed international valve evaluation techniques is made apparent.

Chetta et al. (1980) studied Prosthetic heart valves. Trileaflet Prosthetic Heart Valve was evaluated on Valve performance index (in-vitro). This paper presents the design, fabrication, and in-vitro evaluation techniques for a trileaflet prosthetic heart valve, highlighting the need for standardized evaluation methods.
