Abstract

Monoleaflet polymer artificial heart valve was known to show remarkable improvement in antithrombosis and pressure drop compared with other type of artificial valve. In this investigation monoleaflet the vertical and horizontal deflection pattern of polymer heart valve with three types of supporting members straight member, and two curved members was analysed using the large deformation nonlinear finite element method.
