This paper presents a critical review of the nonlinear dynamics of hyperelastic structures.
Hyperelastic structures often undergo large strains when subjected to external time …

Efficient function and long-term durability without the need for anticoagulation, coupled with
the ability to be accommodated in many different types of patient, are the principal …

Many polyurethanes (PUs) are blood-contacting materials due to their good mechanical
properties, fatigue resistance, cytocompatibility, biosafety, and relatively good …

Biological contamination seriously restricts the development and application of medical
devices, causing severe health threats and economic losses. Non-specific protein adhesion …

To date an optimal decellularization protocol of heart valve leaflets (HVL) and pericardia
(PER) with an adequate preservation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is still lacking. This …

Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs), derived from glutaraldehyde crosslinked (GLUT) porcine
aortic valve leaflets or bovine pericardium (BP), are used to replace defective heart valves …

Valve replacement surgery is the golden standard for end-stage valvular disease due to the
lack of self-repair ability. Currently, bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) crosslinked by …

Numerical fluid–structure interaction (FSI) methods have been widely used to predict the
cardiac mechanics and associated hemodynamics of native and artificial heart valves …

The prevalence of heart valve diseases and their significant impact on global mortality
underscore the urgency of refining heart valve technology. Despite the crucial roles of both …

The durability of the current polymeric heart valves remains to be improved, which has
proven to be highly dynamics and species dependent. Herein, inspired by the fiber …
