Supports further preclinical testing of pin-based valves; leaves open translation to clinical durability or outcomes.
A novel pericardial valve design with radially projecting pins improves durability in laboratory testing by eliminating abrasion-related leaflet tears.
Fisher et al. (1987) studied this question. New three-leaflet pericardial valve vs. Other pericardial valves was evaluated on Hydrodynamic function and durability. A new three-leaflet pericardial valve demonstrated similar hydrodynamic function to other pericardial valves and improved durability in accelerated fatigue tests by eliminating leaflet tears.
