The aortic sinus vortex is a classical flow structure of significant importance to aortic valve
dynamics and the initiation and progression of calcific aortic valve disease. We characterize …

Several studies have shown the variation of aortic sinus structures' hemodynamics with
different flow and geometric characteristics. They have also correlated aortic sinus …

(1) The study's objective is to assess sinus hemodynamics differences between stenotic
native bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and native tricuspid aortic valve (TrAV) sinuses in order to …

Mechanical stresses on aortic valve leaflets are well-known mediators for initiating
processes leading to calcific aortic valve disease. Given that non-coronary leaflets calcify …

Computational characterizations of aortic valve hemodynamics have typically discarded the
effects of coronary flow. The objective of this study was to complement our previous fluid …

We present comprehensive particle image velocimetry measurements and direct numerical
simulation (DNS) of physiological, pulsatile flow through a clinical quality bileaflet …

During systole a small portion of the mainstream aortic flow is intercepted by the sinus ridge,
or downstream corner of the sinus of Valsalva. This fluid curls back toward the ventricle to …

Coronary flow induces hemodynamic alterations in the aortic sinus region. The objectives of
this study are to:(1) investigate the differences among sinus hemodynamics and leaflet wall …

We have derived a mathematical model describing aortic valve dynamics and blood flow
during systole. The model presents a realistic coupling between aortic valve dynamics, sinus …

The main aim of this paper is to characterize vortical flow structures in the healthy human
right atrium, their impact on wall shear stresses and possible implications for atrial thrombus …
