Tissue geometry of second-generation TEHVs. (A) Quantification of leaflet lengths from histological sections of second-generation TEHVs. (B) Quantification of hinge thickness from histological sections of second-generation TEHVs. Acute TEHVs represent the initial leaflet length and hinge thickness of acutely-implanted valves. Measurements are expressed as average value ± standard deviation.
