## Abstract The __in vitro__ colonization of three commercial heart valve leaflets by __Staphylococcus aureus__ was investigated. The leaflets, made of pyrolytic carbon alloyed with or without silicon, displayed similar surface properties (wettability, roughness) and were readily colonized by __S.
## Abstract Exact determination of the orifice area in stenotic valve disease is essential to guide therapy. With the standard imaging methods, the orifice area has to be calculated by empiricallyβderived formulas, which may be susceptible to changes in hemodynamic status, leading to wrong therapeu
