    This document presents a case study on bileaflet heart valves. It outlines 9 key design constraints for heart valves including being non-obstructive, prompt closure, non-thrombogenic, and durable. It then describes the bileaflet heart valve design introduced in 1979 which uses two semicircular leaflets that swing open and closed, and lists the three main components as the frame, leaflets, and sewing ring. Finally, it explains the mechanism of how the valves open due to pressure changes and lists materials that may be used for construction.

    Design constraints for design of heart valves

    1.Non-obstructive
    2. Closure is prompt and complete
    3. Non-thrombogenic
    4. Infection-resistant
    5. Chemically inert and non-haemolytic
    6. Durable for extended intervals
    7. Easily and permanently inserted into an
    appropriate [physiologic] site
    8. Interface between prosthesis and patient
    heals appropriately
    9. Not annoying to the patient (noise-free)

    Bileaflet heart valve

    •In 1979 the bileafleted design introduced


    •Composed of two semicircular leaflets that shifted open and close
    •The leaflets swing completely

    10/30/2019 4
    Materials of construction

    The three main components of valves are:


    •Frame
    •Leaflets
    •Sewing ring

    10/30/2019 5
    Mechanism of working

    •Valves open when pressure changes


    •Opens into three sections
    •Two outer orifices- speed-2.2 m/s
    •Central orifice –speed-2m/s
