Abstract:In this thesis the prosthetic heart valve in the pulmonary position has been analyzed. The results in this thesis demonstrate that there is a need for a suitable valve for the pulmonary position, tailored to the physiological circumstances of the right ventricle and the young age of this population. Currently available valve types each have its own limitation that tend to be more prone in the pulmonary position. We have demonstrated that a mechanical prosthetic valve can be a suitable option for pulmonary valv… Show more
