Valve orientation may alter intraventricular flow; in vitro PIV data leave optimal mitral bioprosthesis positioning open.
Does the orientation of a tricuspid bioprosthetic mitral valve influence the flow field inside the left ventricle in an in vitro model?
In vitro modeling demonstrates that the orientation of a mitral bioprosthesis significantly alters intraventricular flow fields and aortic upstream velocity profiles.
