RISToward the Virtual Benchmarking of Pneumatic Ventricular Assist Devices: Application of a Novel Fluid–Structure Interaction-Based Strategy to the Penn State 12 cc Device
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The pediatric use of pneumatic ventricular assist devices (VADs) as a bridge to heart transplant still suffers for short-term major complications such as bleeding and thromboembolism. Although numerical techniques are ...
Fluid–Structure Interaction and In Vitro Analysis of a Real Bileaflet Mitral Prosthetic Valve to Gain Insight Into Doppler-Silent Thrombosis
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) is a serious complication affecting prosthetic heart valves. The transvalvular mean pressure gradient (MPG) derived by Doppler echocardiography is a crucial index to diagnose PVT but may ...
