Influence of valve size on the hemodynamic performance of a tissue-engineered valved conduit in pulmonary position

This work provides the first <i>in-vitro</i> experimental assessment of the XPV valve, along with an exploration of how valve size affects its hemodynamic performance. Results confirm that for a given hemodynamic condition, larger valves exhibit better performance showing lower flow velocities, <i>TVPGs</i>, kinetic energies, and stresses, along with higher <i>EOAs</i>.
