Informs valve design and selection decisions; leaves open prospective trials confirming optimized longevity.
Boretos et al. (1972) conducted a review in Artificial heart valves. Low-profile prosthetic heart valves was evaluated. Construction parameters, including geometrical configuration, blood flow dynamics, and materials, critically influence the abrasion, performance, and longevity of low-profile prosthetic heart valves.
