Abstract

Considering the common diseases that occur in the heart valves, it is possible that these valves can be replaced with artificial valves. This article examines different types of polymeric valves for the possibility of replacement in the human body. Different models are compared and the optimal valve is presented. For complete information, refer to the text of the article.
