The prosthetic heart valve is vulnerable to dysfunction after surgery, thus a frequent assessment is required. Doppler electrocardiography and its quantitative parameters are commonly used to assess the performance of the prosthetic heart valves and provide detailed information on the interaction between the heart chambers and related prosthetic valves, allowing early detection of complications. However, in the case of the presence of subaortic stenosis, the accuracy of Doppler has not been fully investigated in previous studies and guidelines. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the accuracy of the parameters in such cases to get early detection, and a proper treatment plan for the patient, at the right time. In the current study, a CFD simulation was performed for the blood flow through a Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valve (BMHV) with concomitant obstruction in the Left Ventricle Outflow Tract (LVOT). The current study explores the impact of the presence of the subaortic on flow patterns. It also investigates the accuracy of (BMHV) evaluation using Doppler parameters, as proposed in the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) guidelines.

Measurements of the steady-state leakage of the new Medical Incorporated Omniscience/tm cardiac valve prosthesis are presented. These results are compared to those obtained from the SJM bi-leaflet cardiac valve/tm. The new Omniscience/tm valve shows significantly less leakage than the bi-leaflet valve. Consideration is given to problems in similitude as well as to the general nature of the flow field.

Every year, over 250,000 patients undergo heart valve implantation [1]. Approximately 55% of implanted prosthetic heart valves (PHV) are mechanical. Patients must undergo lifelong anticoagulant medication in order to alleviate the risk of thrombus formation. In order to understand the complex fluid dynamics underpinning problems such as thrombosis, detailed high-resolution quantitative information on the flow field in PHVs is essential [2]. High-resolution data is also needed for the validation of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) studies.
