Results of simulations that estimate the ability of the reconstructed valve to open during systole as the patient/vessel grows. Normalized effective orifice area is computed by dividing the projected area of the open valve by the vessel cross-sectional area. The curves represent the semilunar valve (SV) design (light blue) and the three venous valve (VV) designs: VV1 (red), VV2, (green), and VV3 (dark blue).
