Stereoscopic PIV In Steady Flow Through a Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valve

The tendency of aortic bileaflet mechanical heart valves (BiMHVs) to promote thrombosis has been well documented in the literature. The relationship of thrombosis to valve fluid dynamics has prompted numerous studies of aortic BiMHV flow. In this study, steady flow was investigated downstream of a...
