Mechanical properties of porcine pulmonary valve leaflets: How do they differ from aortic leaflets?

This study measured the biaxial properties of pulmonary and aortic leaflets in extension in the fresh state and then in the same samples after fixation with glutaraldehyde. The results showed that when fresh, the valves had a similar response to load in the circumferential direction, but the pulmona...
