Supports accurate FE simulation of bioprosthetic valves using measured leaflet properties; leaves open human validation.
Accurate finite element simulations of bioprosthetic heart valves require the utilization of actual leaflet material properties, as demonstrated by a model with only 2.36% strain discrepancy from experimental measurements.
Sun et al. (2005) studied this question.
