Effect of Initial Opening Morphology of Polymeric Valves on Hemodynamic Performance.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeIn order to explore the correlation between the initial morphology of the valve and hemodynamic and valve dynamic performance, this study is based on the fact that polymeric prostheses are more convenient to manufacture, and have the possibility of preparing complex geometric shapes and directly obtaining the initial morphologies of different valves, aims to research the effect of different initial opening morphologies of polymeric valves on hemodynamic performance.
methodValve models with different opening shapes were established. Polyurethane materials were used to manufacture the valve samples by dip-coating molding. The stress distribution of three different initial opening shapes was compared by finite element simulation. The hemodynamics and the leaflets dynamic performance of the three polymeric valves were analyzed by in vitro pulsatile flow experiments and particle image velocity measurement experiments.
resultsThe valve morphology at 0.025s, 0.053s, and 0.079s was selected as the initial shape and was recorded as PHV1, PHV2, and PHV3. Finite element analysis found that during the systolic phase, the stress concentration area of PHV1 was the highest among the three types of valves, while during the diastolic phase, the stress concentration area of PHV1 was the lowest. Similarly, the maximum principal strain of PHV1, PHV2, and PHV3 decreased in turn at the time of peak systole but increased in turn at the time of peak diastole. In vitro testing results showed that valves with smaller opening areas had smaller regurgitant volume, while valves with larger opening areas had larger EOA, as well as smaller vorticity and viscous shear stress.
conclusionValves with a smaller initial opening area have a better effect in preventing regurgitation, whereas valve with a larger initial opening area has a larger opening area and a lower risk of thrombosis. Therefore, comprehensive considerations are needed when designing the initial morphology of the polymeric artificial heart valve.
