TAVI-Mimic for testing of heart valve leaflet materials in physiological loading situations

The loading situation of the aortic valve is complex, complicating the identification of innovative approaches for heart valve leaflet materials, e.g. for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Materials engineering experiments allow for screening of materials but especially for durability...
