Fig. 5. Native porcine valve biaxial response for tricuspid, mitral, aortic and pulmonary valves.

Fig. 5

Consistent with the valve coaptation mechanism, based on the chordae tendineae action, atrioventricular valves (mitral and tricuspid) showed a stiffer and less anisotropic behavior when compared to the aortic and pulmonary valves.
