Goal: This work presents the development of a Hybrid Mock Circulatory Loop (HMCL) to
simulate hemodynamics at patient-specific level in terms of both 3D geometry and …

The possibility to obtain in-vitro evaluation of hemodynamic flows and pressures is of capital
importance in understanding cardiovascular pathologies and validating new devices. The in …

Patient-specific hemodynamic studies have attracted considerable attention in recent years
due to their potential to improve diagnosis and optimize clinical treatment of cardiovascular …

Abstract Introduction Mock circulatory loops (MCLs) are mechanical representations of the
cardiovascular system largely used to test the hemodynamic performance of cardiovascular …

The importance of experimental setups able to reproduce cardiac functions was well
established in the field of clinical innovations. The mock circulatory loops acquired rising …

We developed a new mock circulatory system that is able to accurately simulate the human
blood circulation from the pulmonary valve to the peripheral systemic capillaries. Two …

Heart failure is a major health risk, and with limited availability of donor organs, there is an
increasing need for developing cardiac assist devices (CADs). Mock circulatory loops (MCL) …

In vitro cardiovascular device performance evaluation in a mock circulation loop (MCL) is a
necessary step prior to in vivo testing. A MCL that accurately represents the physiology of …

The human heart is responsible for maintaining constant, pulsatile blood flow in the human
body. Mock circulatory loops (MCLs) have long been used as the mechanical …

Mock circulatory loops (MCLs) are usually developed for assessment of ventricular assist
devices and consist of abstracted anatomical structures represented by connecting tubing …
