A Method for Determination of Pressure Drop in Caged-Ball and Caged-Disc Prosthetic Cardiac Valves
This paper describes a simple theoretical and experimental method to determine the pressure drop across mitral caged-ball and caged-disc prosthetic heart valves under steady state flow conditions. The overall pressure drop across any mechanical artificial heart valve is affected not only by its orif...
