In vitro comparability supports advancing the novel valve to animal studies; leaves open clinical translation and long-term outcomes.
A novel bileaflet mechanical heart valve design demonstrates promising in vitro hydrodynamic performance and durability, warranting further long-term studies.
Medart et al. (2005) studied this question. Novel bileaflet mechanical heart valve prosthesis vs. Commonly available bileaflet mechanical heart valve prostheses was evaluated on Hydrodynamic performance and initial durability. A novel bileaflet mechanical heart valve prosthesis demonstrated hydrodynamic performance comparable to commonly available prostheses in in vitro testing.
