A Model Aortic Valve Bioprosthesis for Sutureless Implantation

We present here the results of experimental and theoretical grounding of the design of the first Russian aortic valve bioprosthesis for sutureless implantation. A carcase of superelastic titanium nickelide was tested by simulation and empirical methods and consistent results were obtained. Methods for modeling the biological material and synthetic sleeving on the carcase were developed.
