The bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital valvular defect and a major
risk factor for secondary calcific aortic valve disease. While hemodynamics is presumed to …

Numerical modeling can provide detailed and quantitative information on aortic root (AR)
biomechanics, improving the understanding of AR complex pathophysiology and supporting …

The bicuspid aortic valve is the most common congenital cardiac anomaly in developed
nations. The abnormal bicuspid morphology of the aortic valve results in valvular dysfunction …

Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is characterized by stiffened aortic valve leaflets.
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart disease. Transcatheter …

In this paper, we propose a full computational framework to simulate the hemodynamics in
the aorta including the valve. Closed and open valve surfaces, as well as the lumen aorta …

Aortic coarctation (CoA) accounting for 3–11% of congenital heart disease can be
successfully treated. Long-term results, however, have revealed decreased life expectancy …
