Computational hemodynamics has become increasingly important within the context of
precision medicine, providing major insight in cardiovascular pathologies. However, finding …

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 …

Numerical simulations of the blood flow inside a patient-specific thoracic aorta in presence
of an aneurysm are considered. We focus on the impact on the numerical predictions of the …

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 …

The valve replacement therapy is the standard treatment for severe heart valve diseases.
Nowadays, two types of commercial prosthesis are available: mechanical and biological, but …

In the present paper the effects of the spatial distribution of the inlet velocity in numerical
simulations of the thoracic aorta have been investigated. First, the results obtained by …

The assessment of cardiovascular hemodynamics with computational techniques is
establishing its fundamental contribution within the world of modern clinics. Great research …

We perform a stochastic sensitivity analysis of the experimental setup of a mock circulatory
loop for in vitro hemodynamics analysis in the ascending thoracic aorta at a patient-specific …

Techniques based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) have been extensively used in
the last few years to investigate hemodynamics inside arteries in both healthy and diseased …
