Correct me if I’m wrong someone but this valve has been in development for over 10 years and was first known as the Furtiva Triflo valve? I remember reading about the trials in sheep about 5 years ago, and the issues with clotting after a few months.

I wonder does it tick lol
That valve has been around for maybe 25 years or so - it started life with carbon leaflets and this version has plastic leaflets.
