Leaflet Stresses During Full Device Simulation of Crimping to 6 mm in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation, TAVI

ConclusionSuccessful simulation of crimping requires a finely resolved skirt mesh. Leaflet stresses during crimping are dependent on leaflet thickness, material properties and the ratio of leaflet volume to the available volume inside the crimped valve.
