Abstract

This paper presents the analysis of relationships between geometrical parameters of the tubular leaflet apparatus and its functional characteristics. In addition, the degree of the influence of deformation of different zones of leaflets on its ability to perform its function is evaluated in this work. The outcomes of this study could be helpful in developing new models of the transcatheter prosthetic heart valves leaflet apparatus or analyzing existing in-clinical transcatheter aortic valve implantation prostheses.
