Close-Up of Artificial Heart Valve

(Original Caption) 11/16/1963-: The artificial valve in most widespread clinical use in 1963 is this Starr-Edwards ball valve, which was developed in 1960 at the University of Oregon. The ball is contained within a stainless steel frame, the seat of which is covered with teflon fabric. Here, using a model, the valve is held over the approximate site in the heart where it would be implanted.
