RISBlood Damage Through a Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valve: A Quantitative Computational Study Using a Multiscale Suspension Flow Solver
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Bileaflet mechanical heart valves (BMHVs) are among the most popular prostheses to replace defective native valves. However, complex flow phenomena caused by the prosthesis are thought to induce serious thromboembolic ...
Blood Damage Quantification in Cardiovascular Flows Through Medical Devices Using a Novel Suspension Flow Method

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) ...
