Aortic Leaflet Stresses Are Substantially Lower Using Pulmonary Visceral Pleura Than Pericardial Tissue

Aortic Leaflet Stresses Are Substantially Lower Using Pulmonary Visceral Pleura Than Pericardial Tissue

Background: Porcine heart and bovine pericardium valves, which are collagen-based with relatively little elastin, have been broadly utilized to construct bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs). With a larger proportion of elastin, the pulmonary visceral pleura (PVP) has greater elasticity and could poten...
