The TEHVs were tested using (a) a custom pulse duplicator system, which allows valve root distention and trans-root flow. The valve test chamber is fluid-filled and is connected to the reservoir through a secondary flow loop. (b) A representative flow-pressure trace is shown under pulmonary conditions. The locations of pressure probes and corresponding pressure traces are color coded in the panels. A water hammer effect typical in pulse duplicator systems affects all of the pressure traces, but is most evident in the inflow pressure (at time=~1.15).
