Predicting calcification risk in prosthetic aortic valves: a hybrid physics-based and machine learning approach

Abstract Calcific degeneration remains the foremost failure mode of bioprosthetic aortic valves and a mounting concern for polymeric substitutes. Six prosthetic valve configurations, pairing two leaflet scallop geometries (V-shaped D1 V and U-shaped D2 U ) with three constitutive...
