Abstract
We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve in order to be used as an inlet valve of the ventricular assist device, because it could help to improve the fluid dynamic characteristics in the ventricle. Mean systolic transvalvular pressure drops were measured for the monoleaflet polymer valve and their results were compared wi th that of the mechanical valve.
