RISDynamic Hemodynamic Energy Loss in Normal and Stenosed Aortic Valves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Aortic valve (AV) stenosis, if untreated, leads to heart failure. From a mechanics standpoint, heart failure can be interpreted as the failure of the heart to generate sufficient power to ...
Assessment of Current Continuous Hemofiltration Systems and Development of a Novel Accurate Fluid Management System for Use in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) with a renal replacement therapy such as continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) provides life-saving temporary heart and lung, and renal support in ...
Reduction of Procoagulant Potential of b-Datum Leakage Jet Flow in Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valves via Application of Vortex Generator Arrays
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Current designs of bileaflet mechanical heart valves put patients at an increased risk of thromboembolism. In particular, regurgitant flow through the b-datum line is associated with nonphysiologic ...
