  • Numerical and analytical solutions for oxygen pressure showed excellent agreement.
  • Oxygen distribution was predicted in 1D, 2D, and 3D models.
  • Hypoxic areas increased with mean cusp thickness.

    • Conclusions:

    • The finite difference method accurately estimates oxygen distribution.
    • Tissue thickness and variation dictate minimum oxygen tension.
    • A 3D model is essential for accurate oxygen distribution prediction in native leaflets.
