Effect of valve leaflet surface patterning on valve hydrodynamic performance.
International Journal of Artificial Organs 2023 September 13
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to elucidate the effects of the micro-structure of the pyrolytic carbon for artificial heart valves on its hydrodynamic performance.
METHODS: Bileaflet mechanical valves of GKS 23 and 29 A were randomly selected. According to ISO5840, mean transvalvular pressure (MPG), regurgitation fraction (RF), and effective orifice area (EOA) of valve were assessed. Then, parallel-groove pattern was constructed by laser etching on leaflet surface, and the valves were subjected again to the same test.
RESULTS: Compared with before patterning at 2, 3.5, 5, and 7 L/min, the MPG of the valves in two specifications were higher, the EOA was larger in 23 A, but smaller in 29 A, and the RF was contrary to EOA. At 5 L/min, the RF in both specifications was lower after etching at 45 bpm. At 70 bpm however, the RF in 23 A decreased, in 29 A increased.
CONCLUSION: The parallel-groove pattern on leaflet surface affected the hemodynamic performance of the valve prostheses.
