Observation of cavitation bubbles in monoleaflet mechanical heart valves

Recently, cavitation on the surface of mechanical heart valves (MHVs) has been studied as a cause of fractures occurring in implanted MHVs. In the present study, we investigated the mechanism of MHV cavitation associated with the Björk-Shiley valve and the Medtronic Hall valve in an electrohydraulic...
