Towards a tri-leaflet polyurethane heart valve prothesis
Given the poor durability of bioprosthetic heart valves and thrombogenicity of mechanical valves, recent attention has been directed towards synthetic leaflet valves. The work of this thesis forms part of a project to develop a tri-leaflet polyurethane heart valve prosthesis. Two aspects have been a...
