The objective of the study was to determine the shearing stress exerted by the suture thread under conditions of normal working stress. Thirty-six samples of calf pericardium, similar to that employed in the manufacture of bioprosthetic cardiac valve leaflets, were subjected to tensile testing. Prior to the trial, a continuous suture was sewn in the central zone of each sample, at a 45 degrees angle to the longest axis of the sample, using commercially-available threads (silk, Gore-Tex, Surgilene and nylon). Application of the Mohr circle for combined wear revealed that the shearing stress ranged between 2.68-fold greater (for samples sewn with silk) and 5.48-fold greater (for samples sewn with nylon) than the working tensile stress in the region of the suture. It is concluded that the shearing stress is responsible for the limited durability of sutured samples of calf pericardium prepared to simulate bioprosthetic cardiac valve leaflets.
