An investigation of the anisotropic mechanical properties and anatomical structure of porcine atrioventricular heart valves.
Samuel Jett,Devin W. Laurence,Robert Kunkel,Anju R Babu,Katherine Kramer,Ryan Baumwart,Rheal A. Towner,Yi Wu,Chung-Hao Lee +8 more
TL;DR: This study provides a comprehensive database of the mechanics and structure of the atrioventricular valves, which will be beneficial to development of subject-specific atriventricular valve constitutive models and toward multi-scale biomechanical investigations of heart valve function to improve valvular disease treatments.

Mechanics of the Tricuspid Valve-From Clinical Diagnosis/Treatment, In-Vivo and In-Vitro Investigations, to Patient-Specific Biomechanical Modeling.
Chung-Hao Lee,Devin W. Laurence,Colton J. Ross,Katherine Kramer,Anju R Babu,Anju R Babu,Emily L. Johnson,Ming-Chen Hsu,Ankush Aggarwal,Arshid Mir,Harold M. Burkhart,Rheal A. Towner,Ryan Baumwart,Yi Wu +13 more
TL;DR: A review of recent research relevant to the TV within the scope of FTR provides future perspectives and extensions critical to enhancing the current understanding of the functioning and remodeling tricuspid valve in both the healthy and pathophysiological states.

An investigation of layer-specific tissue biomechanics of porcine atrioventricular valve anterior leaflets
Katherine Kramer,Colton J. Ross,Devin W. Laurence,Anju R Babu,Yi Wu,Rheal A. Towner,Arshid Mir,Harold M. Burkhart,Gerhard Holzapfel,Chung-Hao Lee +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the atrialis/spongiosa layer is the most extensible and anisotropic layer, possibly due to its relatively low collagen content as compared to other layers, and the previously adopted homogenous leaflet in the AHV biomechanical modeling may be an oversimplification of the complex leaflet anatomy.

A Pilot Study on Linking Tissue Mechanics with Load-Dependent Collagen Microstructures in Porcine Tricuspid Valve Leaflets
Luke T. Hudson,Samuel Jett,Katherine Kramer,Devin W. Laurence,Colton J. Ross,Rheal A. Towner,Ryan D. Baumwart,Ki Moo Lim,Arshid Mir,Harold M. Burkhart,Yi Wu,Chung-Hao Lee +11 more
TL;DR: This pilot study sought to examine the load-dependent collagen fiber architecture of the three TV leaflets, by employing a multiscale, combined experimental approach that utilizes tissue-level biaxial mechanical characterizations, micro-level collagen fiber quantification, and histological analysis.

Biaxial mechanical data of porcine atrioventricular valve leaflets
Samuel Jett,Devin W. Laurence,Robert Kunkel,Anju R Babu,Katherine Kramer,Ryan Baumwart,Rheal A. Towner,Yi Wu,Chung-Hao Lee +8 more
TL;DR: This dataset is associated with a companion journal article, which can be consulted for further information about the methodology, results, and discussion of this biaxial mechanical testing (Jett et al., in press).
