Examination of cavitation-induced surface erosion pitting of a mechanical heart valve using closing velocities

Recently, cavitation on the surface of mechanical heart valves has been studied as a cause of fractures that occur in implanted mechanical heart valves. Several factors, including peak dp/dt of the ventricular pressure, maximum closing velocity of the leaflet, and squeeze flow, have been studied as...
