Hypothesis-generating for ceramic mitral prostheses; leaves open flap material optimization before larger preclinical studies.
A novel porous ceramic mitral valve prosthesis showed promising initial function in a mini-pig model, though flap material requires optimization to prevent fibrin deposition.
Gentle et al. (1981) studied this question.
