Investigating the Suitability of Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Polymer in Transcatheter Valve Applications

The current delivery size of transcatheter aortic valves, limited by the thickness of their pericardial leaflets, correlates with a high prevalence of major vascular complications. Polyurethane valves can be developed to a fraction of the thickness of pericardial valves through the addition of carbo...
