Reduced Leaflet Stress in the Stentless Quadrileaflet Mitral Valve: A Finite Element Model
BACKGROUND: Failure of bioprosthetics is usually caused by calcification of the leaflets as a consequence of high tensile stresses. The stentless valve resembles native mitral valve anatomy, has a flexible leaflet attachment and a suspension at the papillary muscles, and preserves annuloventricular...
