A Novel Sensorized Heart Valve Prosthesis: Preliminary In Vitro Evaluation

Background: Recent studies have shown that subclinical valve thrombosis in heart valve prosthesis (HVP) can be responsible for reduced leaflet motion detectable only by advanced imaging diagnostics. We conceived a novel sensorized HVP able to detect earlier any thrombus formation that may alter the...
