Abstract: Venous valve incompetence has been implicated in diseases ranging from chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) to intracranial venous hypertension. However, while the mechanical properties of venous valve leaflet tissues are central to CVI biomechanics and mechanobiology,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(19)32637-3
Abstract: Posterior mitral valve (MV) leaflet prolapse repair can be performed by either leaflet resection or chordal replacement techniques. As the latter has been proposed to result in better left ventricular (LV) function due to presumed… read more here.

Abstract: The lymphatic system contains intraluminal leaflet valves that function to bias lymph flow back towards the heart. These valves are present in the collecting lymphatic vessels, which generally have lymphatic muscle cells and can spontaneously… read more here.
