摘要

Flexure is a major deformation mode of the aortic valve (AV) leaflet, particularly in the commissural region where the upper portion of the leaflet joins the aortic root. However, there are no existing data known on the mechanical properties of leaflet in the commissural region. To address this issue, we quantified the effective stiffness of the commissural region using a cantilever beam method. Ten specimens were prepared, with each specimen flexed in the direction of natural leaflet motion (forward) and against the natural motion (reverse). At a flexure angle (phi) of 30 degrees , the effective forward direction modulus E was 42.63+/-4.44 kPa and the reverse direction E was 75.01+/-14.53 kPa (p=0.049). Further, E-phi response was linear (r(2) approximately 0.9) in both flexural directions. Values for dE/dphi were -2.24+/-0.6 kPa/ degrees and -1.90+/-0.3 kPa/ degrees in the forward and reverse directions, respectively (not statistically different, p=0.424), indicating a consistent decrease in stiffness with increased flexure. In comparison, we have reported that the effective tissue stiffness of AV leaflet belly region was 150-200 kPa [Merryman, W.D., Huang, H.Y.S., Schoen, F.J., Sacks, M.S. (2006). The effects of cellular contraction on AV leaflet flexural stiffness. Journal of Biomechanics 39 (1), 88-96], which was also independent of direction and amount of flexure. Histological studies of the commissure region indicated that tissue buckling was a probable mechanism for decrease in E with increasing flexure. The observed change in E with flexural angle in the commissural region is a subtle aspect of valve function. From a valve design perspective, these findings can be used as design criteria in fabricating prosthetic devices AV resulting in better functional performance.

(2006)。细胞收缩对AV小叶弯曲刚度的影响。 Journal of Biomechanics 39(1),88-96],它也与弯曲的方向和量无关。对连合区域的组织学研究表明,组织屈曲是随弯曲增加而E降低的可能机制。在连合区域观察到的E随弯曲角的变化是阀门功能的一个细微方面。从瓣膜设计的角度来看,这些发现可以用作制造假体设备AV的设计标准,从而获得更好的功能性能。
