Mesh type | GOA (cm2) | OV (cm2/s) | CVs (cm2/s) | CVr (cm2/s) | VMSsys (MPa) | ROA (mm2) | CSA (mm2) | VMS1 (MPa) | VMS2 (MPa) | vms3 (MPa) | VMSdia (MPa) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Normal | 2.6 | 42 | 2 | 42 | 0.41 | 0.5 | 111 | 0.836 | 0.505 | 0.663 | 0.836 |
Fine | 2.6 (0) | 42 | 6 | 53 | 0.35 (−15) | 0.4 | 87 (−22) | 0.999 (19) | 0.621 (23) | 0.803 (21) | 0.999 (19) |
The percentage difference relative to the normal mesh is given in parentheses. Normal (fine) mesh consisted of 40 (50) brick elements along the leaflet free edge length and the proximal attachment line, 10 (20) elements along the commissures and the leaflet height, and 3 (3) elements across the leaflet thickness.
