In vitro Assessment of the Impacts of Leaflet Design on the Hemodynamic Characteristics of ePTFE Pulmonary Prosthetic Valves

Prosthetic pulmonary valves are widely used in the management procedures of various congenital heart diseases, including the surgical pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) and right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction (RVOT). The discouraging long-term outcomes of standard prostheses, including hom...
