Non-overlapping valve discs may lower experimental haemolysis; leaves open translation to clinical prosthetic outcomes.
Does a non-overlapping closing mechanism compared to an overlapping one reduce regurgitation and haemolysis in artificial heart valves in an experimental model?
In an experimental model, artificial heart valves with a non-overlapping closing mechanism demonstrated significantly lower haemolysis compared to those with an overlapping mechanism.
Henze et al. (1974) studied this question.
