Animations of flow fields for Medtronic ADVANTAGE and St. Jude Medical valves

Files in this Data Supplement:

• Animation 1 - Fig. E1. Medtronic ADVANTAGE valve's flow field in the plane level to the primary flat. Forward flow is from left to right and the flow waveform can be seen in the upper left corner of the animation. The maximum velocity for this plane is 0.94 m/sec, where the color-coding and arrow size represent the velocity magnitude.
• Animation 2 - Fig. E2. St. Jude Medical valve's flow field in the plane level to the primary flat. Forward flow is from left to right and the flow waveform can be seen in the upper left corner of the animation. The maximum velocity for this plane is 1.35 m/sec, where the color-coding and arrow size represent the velocity magnitude.
• Animation 3 - Fig. E3. Medtronic ADVANTAGE valve's flow field within the hinge in the plane that is 1/3 depth into the hinge recess, at the level of the secondary flat. Forward flow is from left to right and the flow waveform can be seen in the upper left corner of the animation. The maximum velocity for this plane is 1.64 m/sec, where the color-coding and arrow size represent the velocity magnitude.
• Animation 4 - Fig. E4. St. Jude Medical valve's flow field within the hinge in the plane that is 1/3 depth into the hinge recess. Forward flow is from left to right and the flow waveform can be seen in the upper left corner of the animation. The maximum velocity for this plane is 1.57 m/sec, where the color-coding and arrow size represent the velocity magnitude.
• Animation 5 - Fig. E5. Medtronic ADVANTAGE valve's flow field within the hinge in the plane that is 2/3 depth into the hinge recess. Forward flow is from left to right and the flow waveform can be seen in the upper left corner of the animation. The maximum velocity for this plane is 1.80 m/sec, where the color-coding and arrow size represent the velocity magnitude.
• Animation 6 - Fig. E6. St. Jude Medical valve's flow field within the hinge in the plane that is 2/3 depth into the hinge recess. Forward flow is from left to right and the flow waveform can be seen in the upper left corner of the animation. The maximum velocity for this plane is 2.08 m/sec, where the color-coding and arrow size represent the velocity magnitude.
