An essential problem of mechanical heart valve (MHV) prostheses is the risk of thromboembolic events and consequent need of lifetime anticoagulation due to unnatural hemodynamics that results in traumatization of red blood cells and platelets. The precise spatial and tidal localization of blood-damaging events within the flow is poorly understood. The present study addresses the question whether leakage flow at MHV, which is claimed to improve washout in the hinge areas of microthrombi and platelet-activating agents, is responsible for significant blood damage.
