Simulation of semilunar valve function: computer-aided design, 3D printing and flow assessment with MR

Abstract Background The structure of the valve leaflets and sinuses are crucial in supporting the proper function of the semilunar valve and ensuring leaflet durability. Therefore, an enhanced understanding of the structural characteristics of the semilunar valves is fundamental to the evaluation an...
