May inform biomimetic valve engineering; leaves open clinical translation pending experimental validation.
Mathematical modeling demonstrates that the fractal, branching braided structure of collagen fibers in aortic valve leaflets can be derived directly from their mechanical equilibrium requirements.
Peskin et al. (1994) studied this question.
