(A) Planar outlines of the leaflets from a semilunar valve (SV) design was meshed with triangles and replicated. (B) Planar leaflet mesh was then wrapped into a cylinder with diameter of 12 mm. (C) Planar outlines of the leaflets from a venous valve (VV) design was meshed with triangles and replicated. (D) Planar leaflet mesh was then wrapped into a cylinder with diameter of 12 mm. (E) Three different VV leaflet designs were tested: VV1 with a midline height to overall height ratio of approximately 0.4 (based on our human femoral vein valve specimen), VV2 with height ratio of 0.5, and VV3 with height ratio of 0.6.
