Abstract: The present invention provides a bileaflet heart valve that has a central flow hemodynamic configuration similar to the human aortic valve. Further, the present invention provides a bileaflet heart valve that successfully removes the incidence of thrombosis. This design minimizes the mechanical resistance against leaflet movement and allows for a greater washing effect to minimize thrombosis.
