In reviewing the history of mechanical prosthetic valves, it appears evident how many improvements and technical advances have been obtained in this field. Looking to the past, it must also be underlined how some old concepts, which can be considered quite revolutionary for those years, clearly indicate the great skill and ingenuity of those who conceived them. Old ideas have been revitalized by modern concepts, and this is exemplified when considering the developments of bileaflet and sutureless prostheses.
回顾机械人工心脏瓣膜的历史,可以明显看出该领域取得了多少改进和技术进步。回首过去,还必须强调的是,一些在当时可被视为颇具革命性的旧概念,清楚地显示出其发明者的高超技艺和独创性。旧观念已通过现代理念得以复兴,这在考虑双叶瓣和无缝合线人工瓣膜的发展时得到了例证。
