See full text

Mechanical heart valve prostheses are disclosed that inherently reduce the probability of thrombus formation by minimizing blood flow disturbance, high shear stress, and stagnation. The pivot configuration includes a recess, preferably in the housing, that has a profile which promotes smooth blood flow.
