Overview

Supports synthetic valve development for artificial hearts; leaves open in vivo durability and hemocompatibility.

Structured PICO

P
Population
In vitro model of prosthetic heart valves
I
Intervention
Biomer trileaflet valves (polyurethane synthetic valves)
C
Comparator
Pericardial bioprosthetic valve
O
Outcome
Velocity profiles and turbulent shear stresses distal to the valves measured using laser Doppler anemometrysurrogate

Polyurethane synthetic valves demonstrate flow characteristics comparable to pericardial valves when adjusted for orifice diameter, suggesting potential as an inexpensive alternative for short-term use in total artificial hearts.
