RISDesign of a Pulsatile Flow Facility to Evaluate Thrombogenic Potential of Implantable Cardiac Devices
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Due to expensive nature of clinical trials, implantable cardiac devices should first be extensively characterized in vitro. Prosthetic heart valves (PHVs), an important class of these devices, have been shown to be associated ...
Effect of Hinge Gap Width of a St. Jude Medical Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valve on Blood Damage Potential—An In Vitro Micro Particle Image Velocimetry Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The hinge regions of the bileaflet mechanical heart valve (BMHV) can cause blood element damage due to nonphysiological shear stress levels and regions of flow stasis. Recently, a micro particle image velocimetry (خ¼PIV) ...
