Artificial Heart Valves with the bi-leaflet design was introduced clinically around 1977. This design has proven to be an effective alternative to other valve designs. Many surgeons who were skeptical of this bi-leaflet design concept have since switched to using this ever popular valve design. The bi-leaflet valve design offers lower profile and improved haemodynamics. However due to the complex hinge design, there were cases of valve leaflet rendered immobile due to blood clotting in the narrow flow channel in the hinge region. In the early 1990s, there were cases of reported valve leaflet failure and further investigation led to a new research areas relating to cavitation in mechanical heart valve. Despite the so claimed improved bi-leaflet valve design, these valves are not problem free. Many problems related to haemodynamics of the valve remains a challenge for researchers to address.
