Enables detailed in vitro mitral prosthesis testing; leaves open whether simulator data predict clinical performance.
A hydromechanical simulator was successfully developed to evaluate the dynamic actions of mitral valve prostheses, enabling detailed analysis of valve open areas, pressures, and flows.
Scotten et al. (1979) studied this question.
